Although he announced his departure from the team permanently, matters are still pending between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain for financial reasons.
Mbappe did not end his relationship with Paris well after announcing his move to Real Madrid in a free transfer, as there was a state of coldness in his relationship with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of the French club, and it is expected that the matter will worsen due to the player demanding his dues.
The French newspaper “L’Equipe” said that Mbappe is asking Paris for 100 million euros, which is a value owed to him in the form of bonuses and salaries, and this is consistent with the club’s payroll, because he did not receive his wages for the months of April and May.
The newspaper indicated that Paris is not willing to pay his salary for the month of June or the loyalty bonus in his contract, while the player asserts his right to do so, citing Article 259 of the Professional Football Charter, which obliges clubs to pay players’ salaries at the latest on the last day. From every month.
Mbappe had previously said that he had reached a verbal agreement with the club to give up 55 million euros as a reward in the event of his departure, but the agreement was verbal and did not result in any amendment to the contract, and with the end of the state of friendliness between the two parties, it is unlikely that Mbappe will stick to what he said.
For its part, Paris claims that Mbappe’s promise was much greater than that, as it confirms that the player gave up 80 million euros in loyalty rewards and salaries in exchange for leaving, but the deterioration of the relationship between them prevented them from documenting this in writing.
In the end, the legal team for both Mbappe and Paris will have to sit together, in order to reach an amicable agreement to avoid the possibility of entering into a dispute that reaches the courts.
