In his social media post, Mbappe implied a possible link between the timing of these claims and his upcoming hearing with PSG, remarking:

“I“FAKE NEWS!!!! It’s becoming so predictable, just before the hearing as if by chance.”

Scheduled for Tuesday, the hearing before the Appeals Tribunal of the Professional Football League (LFP) centres on Mbappe’s claim of €55 million from PSG, covering a loyalty bonus and three months of unpaid salary—a claim PSG contests.

The French League had previously ordered PSG to pay this amount on September 12, but the club appealed.
