Almost 18 months after his departure from PSG, Kylian Mbappé remains in conflict with his former club. And the hearing organized this Monday before the Paris industrial tribunal did nothing to calm relations between the two camps. In a big unpacking, the lawyers of both parties went far in their demonstration.
Me Cassereau, one of Kylian Mbappé’s lawyers, thus summoned the Real Madrid striker’s little brother into the debates. By denouncing the acts of harassment allegedly suffered by the captain of the Blues and for which the defense is now demanding more than 260 million euros in compensation and unpaid bonuses.
“ He (Ethan Mbappé, editor’s note) was found in tears in the locker room by Kylian “, said Me Cassereau, who thus denounced bullying against the young player who was then beginning his professional career. And to evoke the famous digital army which would have worked against the 2018 world champion “
so that it becomes the bane of PSG supporters, as a Mediapart survey showed “.
PSG is fighting back again
Shortly after the hearing, PSG, which counterattacked by in turn demanding several hundred million euros for the damage suffered during Kylian Mbappé’s flight to the White House, released a vitriolic press release: “ Mr. Mbappé has continually attacked the club at every opportunity, including through today’s proceedings — an unfortunate situation for the player himself, as well as for French football as a whole. »
“ Before the court, the club presented evidence demonstrating that the player acted in bad faith, by concealing for almost eleven months, between July 2022 and June 2023, his decision not to extend his contract, thus depriving the club of any possibility of organizing a transfer. The player then questioned an agreement concluded with the club in August 2023, which provided for a reduction in remuneration in the event that he decided to leave free, in order to preserve the financial stability of the club after the exceptional investment made. This concealment, combined with the contestation of this clear and documented agreement, caused Paris Saint-Germain considerable damage which the club intends to have recognized before the competent authorities. »
