Before the Paris industrial tribunal, the lawyers of Paris Saint-Germain and those of Kylian Mbappé were heard in the conflict between the captain of the Blues and his former club, against which he is demanding from his ex-employer the payment of 55 million euros in unpaid debts as well as the reclassification of his CDD into a permanent contract. The Mbappé side heavily attacked the methods of Paris Saint-Germain and demanded a crazy and detailed total of 260 million euros from the European champion club.
For its part, the Parisian club even released a scathing press release and accused its former player of bad faith. “Mr. Mbappé has continually attacked the club at every opportunity, including through the proceedings initiated today – a regrettable situation for the player himself, as for French football as a whole (…) in court, the club presented evidence demonstrating that the player acted in bad faith.indicated PSG, ensuring that it had voluntarily concealed from the club that it did not wish to extend.
Kylian Mbappé was affected
But while the legal battle was widely reported in the media, the player’s lawyers provided some information on the player’s state, marked by this trial. “You know Kylian (Mbappé). He is involved in everything regarding his football career. It’s a file that affected him enormously for a big year. Even when he joined the Real Madrid club, he was still affected for a very long time. Afterwards, I believe that today, he has confidence in the justice of his country. He awaits the decision calmly”indicated his lawyer, who claimed 37.5 million euros for moral harassment, among the 260 million requested.
“Everything that has been said about moral harassment really corresponds to the player’s suffering. And everything that was said about his athletic abilities too. Obviously they were altered after suffering the pressure he suffered. I don’t think he saw all this as an image issue. He experienced all this as a sporting issue”she added to The Team. For his part – the decision of the Industrial Court expected on December 16 – the player hopes that the decision will come quickly, in order to concentrate fully on his future at Real Madrid.
