At the end of his contract on June 30, 2024 with PSG, Kylian Mbappé signed freely and free of charge for Real Madrid. However, the 26-year-old star is in the middle of a dispute with the Parisian club, because he still owes €55 million in salaries and bonuses not paid last season. Asked about this clash, Delphine Verheyden – Kylian Mbappé's lawyer – tackled PSG.
Arrived at PSG During the summer of 2017, Kylian Mbappé decided to change scenery last summer. At the end of the contract on June 30, 2024, the 26-year-old star signed freely and for free at Real Madrid. However, Kylian Mbappé is still dealing with PSGand this, because he is still missing €55.4M in salaries and bonuses from last season. While the LFP and the FFF were contacted to resolve this dispute, the player's lawyer spoke about ten days ago. And Delphine Verheyden did not hesitate to tackle the PSG.
“They will all have finished their career before being paid”
“PSG has taken the LFP before the Paris judicial court, considering that it is not competent to force a club to respect the commitments it has made. To participate in a professional Championship, PSG accepts the regulations. But at the end of the story he says that the League and the Federation have no power over him as a club. We are in a case that is becoming much larger than just my client's case. It can bring down the whole system. Incidentally, the club is saying loud and clear to all the other clubs: “Stop paying your players, force them to go to the industrial tribunal”. But the industrial tribunal takes a year and a half to have a decision at first instance, two years on appeal and the same amount on cassation. They will all have finished their career before being paid…”railed Delphine Verheydenrepresentative of Kylian Mbappéduring an interview given to The Team.
“You can trample all players”
In the process, Delphine Verheyden – the lawyer of Kylian Mbappé – added a layer: “PSG wants to escape football regulations. He is willing to bring down the system rather than fulfill his obligations. If the authorities do not protect contracts and their regulations, we send a strong signal which says: “You can trample all the players”. Of the €55M, there is approximately €25M for Kylian Mbappé. But the other 30 are taxes and charges.”
