Kylian Mbappé vs. Paris Saint-Germain: The Ongoing Salary Dispute
In a significant development regarding the ongoing salary and bonus dispute between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), both parties are set to appear before the Ligue de football professionnel (LFP) on September 11. This meeting comes shortly after Mbappé's departure from PSG, where he claims to be owed a staggering €55 million in unpaid salaries and bonuses. The claims reportedly include three months of salary, an 'ethics bonus', and part of his signing bonus.
The dispute has escalated since Mbappé initially put PSG on notice back in June, marking a turbulent end to his six-season tenure with the club. PSG, however, has remained silent on the matter, stating they have not received any notifications from the league or the French Football Federation (FFF) prior to this meeting. This confrontation is expected to draw significant attention as it highlights the growing tensions between top players and clubs regarding financial obligations.
