Kylian Mbappe’s legal team announced a series of appeals during a press conference on Thursday as they try to end his dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain.
Now with Real Madrid, the striker is still seeking €55 million, which he claims the French giants owe him. The Frenchman is still trying to get the money he believes the club owes him, but his efforts recently hit a roadblock.
A source close to the case told Agence France-Presse in February that the commission dismissed his request as “inadmissible.”
A recent decision upheld the Dec. 11 ruling by Professional Football League (LFP) disciplinary officials, who also deemed Kylian Mbappé’s request inadmissible. At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain brought the matter to Paris judicial court, aiming to challenge two earlier rulings that favored Mbappé.
French Football Federation’s higher appeals commission met on Jan. 30 without hearing from either side and ruled on Feb. 11 that the request remained inadmissible.
FFF officials also supported LFP’s stance, concluding no disciplinary action against the club was warranted due to ongoing legal proceedings in Paris court.
What’s the latest on Kylian Mbappe’s dispute with PSG
One of Mbappe’s lawyers shared more details on BFMTV. Here’s what he had to say:
“The €55 million simply corresponds to the unpaid salaries and bonuses owed to Kylian Mbappe for the final year of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. At the start of the 2023-2024 season, he informed the club that he would not be triggering the optional one-year extension.”
“In an effort to change his mind, the club sidelined him. For more than 20 days, they put pressure on him to sign an extension, which he ultimately refused. He was eventually allowed back on the pitch and honored his contract through the rest of the season—scoring goals and doing his job as best he could until June 30, 2024.”
“But along the way, the club stopped paying his salary. His wages for April, May, and June were never paid, and a bonus due to him in February 2024 was also withheld. Altogether, the unpaid amount totals €55 million gross.”
