The French soccer league's legal commission is mediating a dispute between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain over 55 million euros in wages and bonuses.

In a notable development, the French soccer league's legal commission has stepped in to mediate between Kylian Mbappé and his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), over a contentious 55 million euros in wages and bonuses. The commission's intervention came after PSG officials and representatives of Mbappé, who recently transferred to Real Madrid, held a meeting in Paris.
According to PSG, Mbappé made multiple public and private commitments that he did not uphold, leading the club to believe they do not owe him the disputed amount. The issue stems from Mbappé's refusal to prolong his PSG contract, resulting in legal and financial disagreements. PSG claims that Mbappé surrendered his bonuses upon reintegration into the team ahead of the 2023-24 season.
This financial impasse marks the culmination of a strained relationship between the World Cup winner and PSG, which was marred by unmet contractual promises and dissatisfaction on both sides. The situation intensified when Mbappé opted against a contract extension, forcing PSG to contemplate selling their star player rather than losing him for free upon contract expiration.
