This affair is a real barrel of danaids. Last summer, Kylian Mbappé left for Paris Saint-Germain to go and live his dream and finally wear the colors of Real Madrid. A necessarily huge departure and which has left stigma still palpable in the capital. Although the sporting transition has been carried out in the best way for the Paris club, the Mbappé clan and the boarding schools of the Parc des Princes have waged a merciless war on a financial dispute that drags in length.
Indeed, maintaining relations still as cold with his former leaders, the 2018 world champion has claimed the payment of his last three months of salary at PSG in addition to certain unpaid bonuses. After months of conflict, Mbappé had first won: last April, justice had ordered the conservatory seizure of 55 million euros in the accounts of PSG in favor of the top scorer in the history of the club. In the meantime, PSG did not intend to stop there and Kylian Mbappé even waited until other procedures committed to deliver their verdict. Finally, this dispute still took an unexpected turn this Monday.
PSG Counter-attack
Indeed, while we thought we finally saw the end of the tunnel in this tedious legal enterprise, the residents of the Parc des Princes did not say their last word. According to the latest information from theAFPParis Saint-Germain has introduced legal action to request the ban on the seizure of 55 million euros on their account. According to club lawyers, Kylian Mbappé and his lawyers have not delivered sufficiently tangible evidence to justify such a sanction.
In addition to this procedure which will be deliberated on May 26, PSG has also launched an unexpected counterattack. Indeed, Parisian leaders will launch a “counter-center” and simply claim the sum of 98 million euros. “Kylian Mbappé owes money to PSG by the dilatory maneuvers which caused him damage”explained to AFP Me Renaud Semerdjian, PSG lawyer in this case. As you can see, we are still far from the last word in this dispute that is dragged over the months.
