Kylian Mbappé is demanding €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses from his former club,
Paris Saint-Germain, and is scheduled to appear with the club at a Paris labor court on November 17, 2025. The ongoing legal battle follows his departure for Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer of 2024.
Details of the dispute:
Mbappé's claim: Mbappé's legal team claims that PSG owes him several outstanding payments, including three months'salary and a final loyalty bonus, following his contract expiration.
PSG's position: PSG argues that the player forfeited the bonuses based on a verbal agreement made after a dispute in 2023.
Previous rulings: In October 2024, a French league appeals committee ordered PSG to pay the overdue amount, but the club appealed the decision.
Legal escalation: In April 2025, Mbappé's legal team escalated the matter by freezing funds from PSG's bank accounts.
Potential UEFA consequences: Mbappé's lawyers have also requested that the French Football Federation notify UEFA, as unpaid wages could jeopardize PSG's Champions League license.
Further lawsuits: Mbappé's legal team is also preparing lawsuits against PSG for harassment, citing his treatment during the contract dispute.
