In a shocking turn of events, French football sensation Kylian Mbappe has taken his former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to court over unpaid wages and bonuses. The dispute centers around a staggering €55 million ($57.9 million) that Mbappe claims PSG owes him.
The conflict began when Mbappe refused to extend his contract with PSG last season. As a result, he was left out of the squad and eventually joined Real Madrid in June. Now, Mbappe’s team is challenging the validity of an earlier agreement that stated he would give up certain bonuses if he left the club for free.
PSG claims that Mbappe agreed to give up these payments in August 2023. However, Mbappe’s team disputes this, and the French Football Federation (FFF) has already rejected PSG’s attempt to reconsider the payment order, citing that it was submitted a day too late.
The French league has scheduled a hearing for December 11th to discuss this matter. If the disciplinary committee finds against PSG, the club could face serious consequences, including a fine or even a ban from signing new players.
Mbappe’s decision to take PSG to court has sent shockwaves through the football world. The 24-year-old forward has been one of the most dominant players in the sport, and his dispute with PSG has raised questions about the club’s financial dealings and treatment of its players.
As the hearing approaches, all eyes will be on Mbappe and PSG. Will the club be forced to pay out the disputed amount, or will Mbappe’s claims be rejected? One thing is certain: this dispute has the potential to shake the very foundations of the football world.
