A new crisis between Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain
The media are reporting today, Tuesday, August 20, 2024, that a new crisis is looming on the horizon between French star Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain, due to arrears in contributions.
Even though about two months have passed since the end of his contract with the French club, Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain are still in legal conflict, because according to the French newspaper “Le Monde”, the player is demanding a fine from the Parisian club, amounting to up to 55 million euros in total, which was not paid in accordance with the agreement to hold him.
This amount includes the final payment of the signing bonus of 36 million euros, which the player was due to receive last February, in addition to the salaries of the last three months of his contract (April, May, June), in addition to the so-called “moral bonus”. “For this period.
Kylian Mbappé’s representatives sent Paris Saint-Germain a formal notice in mid-June demanding payment of these sums, as reported by the French newspaper L’Equipe.
Mbappé was unable to receive his dues, which prompted him to take stricter legal action, without causing much controversy at this stage.
According to information reported by the newspaper Le Monde, Mbappé filed a complaint with the legal commission of the French Professional Football League and, through the French Federation, he brought the case before the European Football Association (UEFA).
On August 8, the French player filed his complaint with the legal committee of the Professional Football League, based on article 259 of the Professional Football Charter, which specifies that “salaries must be paid by clubs to players under contract no later than the last day of the month” each month, in accordance with general laws.
This decision is considered an important step in the dispute between Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain, as the player seeks to obtain his financial debts legally and in accordance with the terms specified in his contract. However, the issue of settlement remains subject to the evolution of the legal and administrative situation in the coming period.
