Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe arrived to much fanfare in the Spanish capital on a free from Paris Saint-Germain and to much chagrin in the French capital. While PSG allege that they had a verbal agreement that he would not leave the club for free, Mbappé continues to claim his unpaid wages for the months of April, May and June, which amount to a total of €55m.It has been a long-running process, with Mbappé’s legal team going through various courts and mediations to try to get the money out of his former team. However, they have now upped the ante.“The process began in February 2024, and, since then, PSG has not fulfilled its contractual obligations,” Delphine Vanderheyden, his lawyer, explained, quoted by Cadena SER.“He joined PSG in the summer of 2017 and signed a contract that was extended in the spring of 2022 for two seasons with the option for another. Along the way, there were exchanges, discussions, pressure… The contracts were signed. There were two of them. Have they been fulfilled? Yes. To the end? Yes. Paid? No. What’s missing? €55m.”They go on to say that Mbappé’s legal team has placed an embargo on €55m of PSG’s funds until the legal tribunal is resolved, which is due to be so on the 26th of May. However, perhaps the most interesting part is that his lawyers have also approached UEFA, asking them to suspend PSG’s licence to play in Europe next season if they do not pay up. There is a regulation that states if a club has not paid its players the entirety of their contract, the licence should not be granted.Mbappé’s legal team also announced that they would be pursuing the money through all legal means available, but PSG did not take long to react. Their own statement was relayed by Marca.“After hearing yet another fantastic story from a parallel universe today, PSG still doesn’t understand why Kylian Mbappe isn’t taking his dispute with his former club to the Conseil des Prud’hommes, the only court with jurisdiction to rule on the matter.”PSG go on to say they are open to a friendly solution to the dispute, ‘despite his actions in bad faith’. However, it appears that solution is likely to involve PSG paying less than the €55m Mbappe feels he is owed by the club, something the Real Madrid star appears not to be contemplating.
