Kylian Mbappé, the 26-year-old French national team striker, has now joined Real Madrid following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain. However, the situation between the player and the club where he spent seven years is not yet resolved. The French international is in a financial dispute with PSG over unpaid bonuses and wages, while PSG maintains that an agreement had been reached. Recently, his lawyers announced a legal offensive with several lawsuits filed, and PSG has responded. This Monday, the day of the hearing before the labor court, Le Parisien reports that each party is demanding a substantial sum.
“PSG’s lawyers have chosen to reveal the existence of an offer from Saudi Arabia.”
“According to our information, the French striker, currently playing for Real Madrid, is demanding the modest sum of €240 million in damages for the harm suffered after his departure in the summer of 2024. The French international also accuses his former club of failing to convert his fixed-term contract into a permanent one.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s club, for its part, is demanding that the Bondy native pay them €180 million for having lied to them by promising he wouldn’t leave on a free transfer. PSG’s lawyers have chosen to reveal the existence of a €300 million offer from Saudi Arabia, which we reported at the time, that the player reportedly rejected in July 2023, before refusing to extend his contract and leaving the club without a transfer fee.” “
This thorny issue continues, the end is still far off, and the outcome will clearly have two very different results. Mbappé and PSG are strikingly opposed on the amount to be received or paid. From the outside, it’s difficult to side with either party. We can only trust the justice system. And in our case, we trust PSG to avoid putting themselves in a difficult position with potentially serious financial consequences.
In any case, we are eager for this to be over. Our passion for football doesn’t extend to these unfortunate legal matters. The conflict with Mbappé, another shadow cast over this tumultuous period, must be resolved so we can truly turn the page. With one last victory or another very hard-to-swallow point.”
