the Parisian club asks the FFF to discuss the dispute

Paris SG has filed a request to discuss its financial dispute with Kylian Mbappé before the executive committee of the French Football Federation (FFF), after the decisions favorable to the player before the Professional Football League (LFP), we learned 'AFP from a source close to the case.

Seized by the attacker, who is demanding 55 million euros in unpaid salaries and other bonuses from the capital club, the LFP legal commission recommended mediation in September. But, faced with the player's refusal, she immediately decided to ask PSG to pay this sum within a week.

PSG then appealed, an appeal which was examined in mid-October and which confirmed the first decision, ordering the club to pay the 55 million euros, which PSG immediately refused to do.

An appeal “in principle” and “currently being processed”

Before a potential appeal by Kylian Mbappé before the industrial tribunal, PSG had at its disposal two final appeals before the football authorities: file a request to raise the dispute before the executive committee of the FFF, then an appeal before an administrative court with a view to conciliation before the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF).

The request to the FFF was submitted last week. She “is being processed”and can potentially be refused, indicated the source mentioned above. A source close to the club's management recently explained toAFP that PSG would use these remedies “on principle”instead expecting the matter to go before the industrial tribunal in a long-term procedure.

The conflict originates in the status of an agreement reached in August 2023 between the attacker and the club's management. The captain of the French team was then sidelined from the team for refusing to extend his contract with PSG. This extension would have guaranteed the club to receive the money from a transfer while Mbappé finally signed up free this summer with Real Madrid.

In this agreement, the player agreed to waive 55 million in various bonuses if he were to leave free at the end of the season. But the validity of this agreement, which the player himself spoke publicly to journalists in January, is contested by the star's camp.
