PSG maintains that they are not obligated to pay the full amount, pointing to a verbal agreement with Mbappe.
According to the club, the 25-year-old had agreed not to leave PSG on a free transfer and to forgo part of his remaining salary before the contract expired, as noted by Football Espana.
Mbappe demands unpaid salaries, reports PSG to UEFA, LFP
However, Mbappe’s representatives have categorically denied any such agreement and have taken formal steps to resolve the issue.
Reports suggest that Mbappé was not compensated for April, May, and June of his contract, as well as part of an €80 million signing bonus.
According to Mundo Deportivo, his legal team has contacted key football governing bodies, including the LFP (French League Federation), FFF (French Football Federation), and UEFA, asserting that he is owed €55 million, which includes these missed payments and an additional ‘ethical bonus.’
What are the sanctions PSG could face?
Per the Madrid Zone, LFP possesses the authority to impose significant sanctions on PSG, including halting their transfer activities until the matter is resolved.
Moreover, the situation could escalate further, with PSG at risk of losing its UEFA license for the upcoming season, potentially jeopardizing its participation in the 2024/25 Champions League.
For PSG, the stakes are not just financial; their ability to compete at the highest level in Europe could be on the line.
