L’Équipe understands that Kylian Mbappé (25) is set to land another blow in his ongoing wage dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain.
Earlier this month, there was a hearing between the representatives of Mbappé and PSG as their ongoing dispute rumbles on.
The LFP’s legal committee ordered PSG to pay their former player €55m in unpaid wages and bonuses. Mbappé went unpaid for the final three months of his PSG contract, from April to June, prior to his move to Real Madrid. The refusal to pay the wages came amid a dispute and a messy divorce between the two parties. Les Parisiens believed that they had an oral, gentleman’s agreement with the France captain that they wouldn’t lose out financially, in the event that he left on a free transfer, which he did.
However, having been ordered to pay Mbappé the unpaid wages and bonuses, PSG refused. As a result, the ruling is now being studied by the LFP’s Advisory Joint Appeals Commission, who as per L’Équipe, will rule in favour of the France captain on Friday.
PSG do, however, further levers to pull and further means to contest the decision, whilst Mbappé could also refer the dispute to UEFA. Regardless of today’s verdict, it is a dispute that does not yet have an end in sight.
