Mbappé chasing PSG for every last penny as legal battle drags on
The French superstar has sent legal representatives to PSG headquarters demanding the final €5.9m of his settlement after winning his case at the Paris Labor Court.
Former PSG striker continues to pursue outstanding payments from his old club after the Paris Labor Court ruled in his favor.
Show Me the Money
Kylian Mbappé isn’t letting PSG off the hook when it comes to collecting what he’s owed from his former employers. After the Paris Labor Court determined that PSG must pay him €60.9 million in outstanding wages, the French superstar is now going after the final slice of that pie.
According to L’Équipe, Mbappé’s legal team has taken things up a notch by sending a judicial officer to PSG’s headquarters today with a payment order for approximately €5.9 million. This outstanding amount reportedly covers holiday pay and interest that remains unpaid after PSG had already coughed up €55 million of the total sum.
Ticking Clock for PSG
The Parisian club now finds itself in a proper pickle with just eight days to settle the bill. If they don’t pay up by the deadline, Mbappé’s lawyers could potentially seize the funds directly from PSG’s accounts. Not exactly what you’d call an amicable parting of ways, is it?
The labor court’s ruling established Mbappé’s reference gross salary at a hefty €11.8 million, forming the basis for these calculations.
PSG’s Response
PSG hasn’t kept schtum on the matter. The French outlet quotes club sources stating their position:
“The club has always acted in good faith and with integrity,” they claim, insisting they’ve paid all salaries and bonuses owed to their former star. They also mentioned that discussions with Mbappé’s representatives regarding payment arrangements for the remaining amounts are ongoing.
What’s Next?
This latest chapter in the Mbappé-PSG saga shows that the relationship between the player and his former club continues to be frosty at best. While Mbappé is now plying his trade at Real Madrid, he’s clearly determined to collect every last euro from his PSG contract.
For PSG, this represents yet another headache in what has been a complicated post-Mbappé transition. The club will likely want to resolve this matter quickly to avoid further legal complications and negative publicity.
