Kylian Mbappé's Salary Dispute with Paris Saint-Germain Heads to Court
Kylian Mbappé's Salary Dispute
The contract dispute between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé over the player’s unpaid salary is escalating and set for court after PSG rejected a recommendation by a Ligue de Football Professionel (LFP) legal commission to pay Mbappé €55 million. The legal commission urged PSG on Thursday to comply, following Mbappé’s refusal of an initial mediation offer. This dispute traces back to Mbappé's contract and his plans for a potential free departure in 2024, which led to tensions last summer.
Legal Context and Club's Position
- Mbappé cited moral harassment and invoked the LFP regarding the lack of payment.
- PSG claims the financial arguments support their decision to withhold payment.
- The player is protected under French labor law, which requires timely salary payments.
As the situation advances, legal experts indicate that PSG’s actions may breach labor protections, as salary withholding is typically not permissible under French law.
