This Wednesday evening, the LFP disciplinary committee rejected the referral from Kylian Mbappé concerning his affair with PSG. As a reminder, the Real Madrid striker is in conflict with his former club from whom he is still demanding €55 million in unpaid bonuses and salaries. “The Disciplinary Regulations of the LFP give authority to the Disciplinary Commission to impose sanctions in the event of non-execution of a decision against which no appeal is initiated. The Commission was contacted in this context by Mr. Kylian MBAPPE, following the decisions rendered by the Legal Commission and the Joint Appeals Commission. Paris Saint-Germain having since taken the LFP before the Paris Judicial Court, with a view to obtaining the annulment of these two decisions, the Disciplinary Commission concluded that the referral made by Mr. Kylian MBAPPE was inadmissible. , explained the LFP press release.
A decision immediately welcomed by PSG. “We are very satisfied that the Disciplinary Committee has decided not to sanction Paris Saint-Germain as requested by the player. By declaring its request inadmissible, the Disciplinary Commission puts an end to this sequence which has lasted too long. After initially hearing the parties’ arguments on September 11, the LFP Legal Commission made up of 18 people repeatedly insisted on the need for mediation between the player and Paris Saint-Germain to find a compromise, at the light of PSG’s clear arguments. The mediation process having been completely rejected by the player, the Legal Commission decided to stick only to the contract approved by itself, and not to take into account the other agreements concluded between the Player and the Club. What remains under debate, and should be examined by the Industrial Tribunal, is that the approved contract was legally modified by mutual agreement in August 2023 for the 2023/2024 season. This modification was confirmed several times by the player, notably in January 2024, before he decided once the season was over to return to all his commitments. If the player unfortunately persists in not respecting his commitments and continuing this dispute before the Industrial Tribunal in an incomprehensible and damaging manner, for himself and for French football, the Club stands ready to fully expose the situation before the competent court. In law and in fact, the player has made clear and repeated public and private commitments which the Club simply asks that he honor, after having benefited from unprecedented advantages from the Club for 7 years in Paris. Fundamentally, it is a question of good faith, honesty, maintaining values and respect for the Parisian institution and its supporters, which is more important than any player. Following today’s decision, the Club reiterates its hope that an amicable solution can be found, so that all parties can finally turn the page.”
