Mbappe wins legal battle, orders PSG to pay €55m

French international Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid's new striker, has won his legal dispute against his former club Paris Saint-Germain and its president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

The French newspapers "L'Equipe" and "Le Parisien" reported that the legal committee of the French Professional Clubs Association obliged Paris to pay 55 million euros to Mbappe, the value of the player's salaries and bonuses in his last 3 months with the team.

She added that Paris is obligated to pay this amount within a maximum period of 8 days, in response to the player's rejection of the legal mediation proposal put forward by the French League yesterday, Wednesday.

The French striker filed a complaint on August 8, demanding the payment of his delayed salaries at Paris Saint-Germain.

As for the Parisian team's management, which welcomed the legal mediation decision, it justified its position by freezing the dues, with a verbal agreement with Mbappe, which did not enter into force, based on the player's statements.

Earlier today, L'Equipe reported that Paris Saint-Germain's management had submitted a document showing that the club had invested one billion euros in order for Mbappe to stay with the team for 7 seasons.

The newspaper added that the Parisian team is trying, with this document, to justify the serious damage caused by the player's decision to leave the team on a free transfer after his contract expires on June 30, 2024.

"Whatever my decision is, I will not leave without the club making a financial benefit," Kylian said in January.

Mbappe, 25, moved to Real Madrid on a free transfer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired on June 30.
