Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has decided not to comply with a French league (LFP) ruling to pay former striker Kylian Mbappé 55 million euros ($60.6 million) despite the LFP’s order earlier on Thursday.
Key Points:
- Dispute Overview: Mbappé claims that PSG owes him 55 million euros in wages and bonuses. PSG counters that Mbappé had agreed to forgo this amount in August 2023.
- LFP’s Ruling: The LFP’s commission directed PSG to make the payment within a week. PSG, however, disputes the LFP's jurisdiction and plans to seek a legal resolution through another court.
- PSG’s Response: PSG has stated that the LFP commission’s decision has legal limitations and plans to present their case in a higher court over the coming months. They argue that a full resolution can only be reached through a different legal process.
- Mbappé’s Move: Mbappé, who recently joined Real Madrid, had escalated the matter to the LFP’s legal committee following his departure from PSG.
