Mbappé Wins €61m Legal Battle as Court Orders PSG to Settle Unpaid Wages
Paris – The long running dispute between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint Germain has reached a decisive moment, with a French labour court ruling in favour of the footballer and ordering the club to pay him about €61 million in unpaid wages and bonuses. The judgment, reported by several international outlets including Reuters, confirms that PSG failed to honour parts of Mbappé’s contract during the final months of his stay in Paris. The sums in question relate mainly to salaries and performance related bonuses for the period leading up to his departure from the club. For months, the case had lingered quietly in the background, even as Mbappé moved on to a new chapter of his career. Behind the scenes, lawyers argued over contractual obligations, with the player’s camp insisting the money was owed in full, while PSG disputed the claim. The court disagreed with the club. In its ruling, it affirmed Mbappé’s right to the outstanding payments, bringing clarity to a saga that had strained relations between one of football’s biggest stars and his former employers. While reports note that PSG may still explore the option of an appeal, the decision stands for now, marking a significant legal victory for Mbappé. The amount, reported by different outlets as between €60 million and €61 million, reflects unpaid salaries and bonuses rather than damages.
