Kylian Mbappe vs PSG: France Captain Issues Formal Notice to Former Club About Unpaid Salaries

• Kylian Mbappe has issued a formal notice to his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, regarding unpaid wages and bonuses
• The French giants have reportedly withheld Mbappe’s wages dating back to April 2024, which amount to €100 million
• PSG appears reluctant to pay the 25-year-old his June wages as the Frenchman prepares to leave the club for free

The feud between Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain has taken a new twist as the Frenchman has moved to file an official request demanding his overdue wages and bonuses amounting to €100 million.

Reports claim PSG has not paid the France captain his wages since April 2024.

Mbappe ended his six-year association with PSG this month by joining Real Madrid on a five-year deal.

Despite his involvement in the European championships with his national team, the Frenchman still has an eye on unsettled issues with his former club and is keen on receiving financial compensation.

According to French outlet L’equipe, Mbappe filed the claim through the French League, citing Article 259 of the professional football charter.

The article states that “clubs must pay salaries to players by the last day of each month,” which PSG failed to do.

The two parties had a 'gentleman’s agreement' which saw Mbappe waive €55 million in due bonuses, but the agreement was never formalised on paper.

Earlier in 2024, the informal agreement ended after it became evident to PSG that Mbappe would not renew his contract at the club.

The Ligue 1 club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, instead wanted Real Madrid to pay Mbappe the dues, but Los Blancos were under no obligation to do so.

Mbappe’s PSG woes

After the end of his PSG tenure, Mbappe openly spoke about how the club treated him after learning of his intentions to leave.

The former Monaco man claimed he was initially frozen out of the squad in the 2023/2024 season, and this was evident when he sat out a 0-0 draw against Lorient.

Head coach, Luis Enrique, gradually reintegrated him back into the squad, and he ended up scoring 44 goals across all competitions, according to Transfermarkt.
