The joint appeals committee of the Professional Football League therefore ruled in favor of Kylian Mbappé in the dispute between him and PSG. The club refused to pay the last three months of salary (April, May and June 2024) of its former star, as well as a so-called loyalty bonus. The total amount is enormous. It’s a check for €55 million that needs to be signed. This sum has also been put in reserve by the company’s accountants in case the various courts prove it wrong. Good luck to them.
But before paying this amount, the club assures that its fight is far from over. “Now that the Appeals Commission has confirmed the opinion given by the Legal Commission, PSG has decided to bring the matter before the competent courts – while continuing to try to find an amicable solution with the player», assures RMC this Friday a spokesperson for PSG, as soon as the verdict is in. From now on, all eyes should be on the FFF, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) or more probably towards the industrial tribunal.
“The player has made clear and repeated public and private commitments» according to PSG
PSG is certain of its right. “In law and in fact, the player has made clear and repeated public and private commitments which the club simply asks him to honor and respect in view of the unprecedented advantages he received from the club for seven years in Pariscontinues the spokesperson. The club hopes that the word given will be respected knowing that if the player unfortunately decides to continue this dispute, the club will be forced to have him judged by the competent courts and to recognize the damage he has suffered and continues to suffer as a result. of the incomprehensible position of his former player.»
According to this internal source at PSG, it is above all a question of “a question of good faith, honesty, maintaining values and respect for the Parisian institution and its supporters.» While the dispute between the two parties seemed to have been resolved during last season, after Mbappé was left in Paris as “punishment” during the summer tour, the end of the story between the striker and his former club, of which he is the top scorer in history (235 goals), ends very badly. The legal standoff continues, and for a while longer.
