As a reminder, in addition to having had to digest the departure of its star without receiving a single cent, the capital club is still in conflict with the Bondynois due to unpaid bonuses and salaries. Concretely, the Mbappé clan is demanding payment from PSG of an estimated sum of €55 million. A request that the Red and Blue dispute, ensuring that they had reached an arrangement with their former player.
On July 17, Fayza Lamari, the mother of the captain of the French team, assured that the Mbappé clan did not intend to give up on the matter. “It’s now in the hands of Kylian’s representatives. But I trust PSG that things will be sorted out very quickly. We just received a response letter from them. Decisions will be made. Sometimes, in separations, you have to decide who gets the TV, who keeps the furniture or the car… That’s where we are. I hope that all this won’t tarnish everything we’ve experienced, that we won’t dwell on that.”
Towards mediation?
These remarks were followed by the referral to the LFP legal committee. This Wednesday, the lawyers of both parties met at the headquarters of the governing body. And according to RMC Sportthe legal commission asked PSG and the Mbappé clan to set up mediation in order to avoid further legal proceedings in this case.

The club recalled that the player had made clear commitments, repeated in public and in private, and that these commitments must be respected by the player, in the context of 7 fantastic seasons corresponding to an unprecedented investment by the club. In light of the arguments documented at the time, the committee insisted on the establishment of mediation between the parties, which Paris Saint-Germain has been seeking for many months. The committee invited the player to consider this mediation process.” It now remains to be seen what the position of the Mbappé clan is.
