Mbappé Wins PSG Dispute: Football & Player Rights

At this point, PSG will have lost two important matches this year. After the final of the Club World Cup left to Chelsea (3-0), he suffered another huge setback this December 16 on another ground, judicial. The Paris industrial tribunal rejected all his requests and forced him to pay nearly 61 million euros to Kylian Mbappé, who therefore scores goals even when he is not playing. He demanded 263 million euros for folklore (440 million euros on the PSG side) but only aimed for what he obtained: the payment of his three salaries for April, May, June 2024, paid leave, his bonuses and his balance of all accounts.

Like any employee claiming from his employer his dues, he has won and will be paid as soon as the enforceable copy of the court decision notified by the registry is sent to his two lawyers, Me Frédérique Cassereau and Me Delphine Verheyden. Which are jubilant. “We are very satisfied. It’s a victory, they say in unison. Kylian Mbappé has been demanding the same thing for 18 months, payment of his salaries and his bonus. The club did not want to pay and said it was awaiting a decision from the industrial tribunal. The club must pay now. Football is not a lawless zone and PSG will be able to execute spontaneously without having to go through a bailiff, that would be elegant. »
