Kylian Mbappé Insists on receiving a 55 million euro compensation from his previous team, PSG.
Following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain about two months ago, it seems that French soccer sensation Kylian Mbappé is engaged in a legal tussle with his former club. According to reports from the French daily "Le Monde," this disagreement revolves around an outstanding debt of approximately €55 million. Mbappé's team, through legal channels, has allegedly brought this issue to the attention of both the French football league's legal commission and UEFA.
The questioned amount supposedly encompasses unpaid salaries from April, May, and June, the remaining portion of a bonus linked to his previous contract extension, and a "moral bonus" for the concluding phase of his contract. Mbappé's camp reportedly attempted to remind the club of these outstanding payments in mid-June, but to no avail.
Mbappé parted ways with PSG after seven years, moving on to join Champions League champions Real Madrid on a free transfer during the summer. Previously, there was a conflict between the two entities when Mbappé announced he would not be renewing his contract, resulting in his temporary exclusion from team training sessions.
Before joining PSG for a staggering €160 million transfer fee from AS Monaco, Mbappé had claimed six league titles and four domestic trophies with the French giants. Despite these accomplishments, the much-hyped Champions League triumph continued to elude him. Mbappé's debut with Real Madrid this weekend was not particularly impressive, with the team managing only a 1:1 draw against RCD Mallorca. Despite being the "new Galacticos," the La Liga champions are yet to secure their first league win since the start of the new season.
Paris St Germain is still involved in the dispute with Kylian Mbappé, as his team has reportedly brought the issue of an outstanding debt of around €55 million to both the French football league's legal commission and UEFA. Despite reminding the club about the outstanding payments in mid-June, Mbappé has yet to receive the unpaid salaries from April, May, and June, the remaining bonus from his contract extension, and a "moral bonus."
