Following the financial dispute between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain, the legal committee of the Professional Football League on Thursday ordered the capital club to pay the 55 million euros claimed within eight days. The Real Madrid striker is determined to recover this sum corresponding to the payment of unpaid bonuses and salaries.
Even if the native of Bondy seems to be within his rights, his behavior can be morally shocking. “There was an oral agreement, they came to an understanding, recalls Denis Charvet on the airwaves of RMC. PSG has been giving Mbappé a billion for seven years and it doesn’t shock you? We still have to kneel before him and give him 55 million? Mbappé doesn’t keep his word, his reputation is obviously tarnished. It’s not a problem of sporting reputation, it’s a problem of mindset and values. There is no value, the values are ‘I’ll take the money and I’ll go to Real’.”
Mbappé, a reputation already tarnished
In this heated debate, Pascal Dupraz believes that the former PSG player is absolutely right to demand his money back. “He tarnishes his reputation with his mistakes. Because he makes mistakes. The most recent one was at a press conference, when he was captain of the French team, and he said he didn’t give a damn what the fans think of him. That’s a mistake, and now he’s tarnishing his reputation. But not the money.”underlines the former Saint-Etienne coach.
According to article 409 of the League’s administrative regulations, PSG could be sentenced to a recruitment ban if it persists in refusing to pay the sum demanded by its former star.
