PSG under threat because of Mbappé
Problem is, a financial dispute has been pitting Paris Saint-Germain against its former player Kylian Mbappé for several months. The French striker is demanding some 55.4 million euros in unpaid salaries and bonuses between last April and June from the capital club which, unhappy with the departure of the Blues captain to Real Madrid this summer, still refuses to pay him this sum .
The legal commission of the Professional Football League, on September 11, as well as the joint committee of the LFP, on October 25, nevertheless issued two decisions favorable to the neo-Merengue, considering that PSG should go to cash. But the leaders remain stuck to their position, which could cost the Red and Blue even more.
Several possible sanctions for PSG
If UEFA considers that the French champions are at fault in this matter, the club financial control body (ICFC) could require them to finally settle the bill. In the event of another refusal, it could then impose a heavy sanction against them. If PSG says “serene”dixit The Teamthe threat must still be taken very seriously.
“The fine, the deduction of points, the withholding of revenue from a UEFA competition, the ban on registering new players for UEFA competitions or (…) the disqualification from current competitions and/or exclusion from future competitions” are all possible punishments for the club chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
