Will Kylian Mbappé manage to crack PSG? While the legal commission of the Professional Football League (LFP) ruled in favor of the player on September 11, then again in the joint appeal committee on October 25, and the French Football Federation rejected a request from the club, Kylian Mbappé contacted the LFP disciplinary committee on Monday, December 2. He is demanding 55 million euros from the Parisian club for “failure to pay bonuses and salaries”.
The conflict between the two parties originated in the summer of 2023. Kylian Mbappé then announced his intention not to extend his contract with Paris, which expires in June 2024, and reached a tacit agreement with the club's management. to waive several bonuses. But after the announcement of his free departure at the end of the season, the striker saw his playing time reduced, and his salaries for the months of April, May and June unpaid.
The 2018 world champion, who believes he is within his rights, decided to refer the matter to the LFP legal commission, after contacting the French Football Federation last August. After several decisions in its favor, but while PSG refuses to pay, the hearing before the League's disciplinary committee will be held on December 11.
