the FFF rejects the request from PSG which will have to pay 55 million euros to Kylian Mbappé

The French Football Federation (FFF) has rejected Paris SG’s request to review the Professional Football League’s (LFP) injunction to pay 55 million euros in unpaid salaries and bonuses to its former player Kylian Mbappé, a- we learned this Friday.

A new setback for PSG. For many months, a dispute involving Paris Saint-Germain and its former star, Kylian Mbappé, has been managed by French football authorities. This Friday, PSG suffered a new defeat in this matter since the French Football Federation (FFF) rejected the capital club’s request to re-examine the injunction from the Professional Football League (LFP) concerning the payment of the sum of 55 million euros in unpaid salaries and bonuses to Kylian Mbappé.

A first legal commission of the LFP had already ordered PSG to pay these 55 million euros, after the refusal of mediation by the player. This time, ComEx did not even need to study the file in depth since the request made by the club was not compliant. Indeed, according to AFP citing a source close to the matter, the legal department of the FFF simply noted that the request had been made a day too late, while the club had 10 days to make it from the date of decision of the LFP joint appeals committee in favor of the player, on October 25.

the industrial tribunal to settle the dispute?

This decision is bad news for PSG but from the club’s side, it was expected. Indeed, there was little chance that the decision-making body would disavow a decision motivated by two successive LFP legal commissions regarding the captain of the France team.

From now on, the club will file an appeal before the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF), a question of principle, indicated a source close to management. Another recourse to justice will also theoretically be available to him. In the eyes of Parisian leaders, the dispute will inevitably have to end before the industrial tribunal, if Kylian Mbappé decides to refer it to them. “Nothing counts before the industrial tribunal,” it was emphasized on Friday within the club.
