Kylian Mbappe is foreshadowing a legal action, asking for the money he didn’t receive from his former team PSG.
French media Le Monde reported on the 20th (Korea Standard Time) that Mbappe is demanding PSG to pay unpaid salaries.
Media outlets said, “Mbappe is in dispute with PSG. He is demanding money under contract. He contacted the French League’s (LFP) and UEFA’s legal committees to demand 55 million euros that he did not receive through the FFF. The legal committee, which has the authority to discipline, may ban the club from recruiting players.” 먹튀검증
“The 55 million euros Mbappe is asking for includes 36 million euros (53.3 billion won) in contract bonuses that he should have received in February, salaries from April to June, and ethical bonuses for these three months. The athlete’s legal representative has already communicated with PSG about the situation since mid-June. However, the athlete has decided to demand it after contacting the Qatar Sports Investment Authority, which owns PSG,” he added.
Furthermore, the media said, “On the 8th, the player reported for the first time to the LFP Legal Committee under Article 259 of the Charter of Professional Football. The clause is that the club must pay the contracted players until the last day of each month as a condition of common law,” adding that Mbappe presented a legal basis for not receiving the money he should receive.
Spanish media Marca said, “PSG has not responded to Mbappe’s move and does not want to mention the ongoing negotiations because there is also confidence that the two sides will eventually reach a satisfactory agreement, as the player said.”
According to Marca, PSG mentioned Mbappe’s statement in January. At the time, Mbappe said, “According to the agreement, I will meet with the chairman this summer. My decision is not the problem. We have to protect both sides and ensure peace of mind for the challenges we are waiting for this season, and this is the most important thing.”
The media reported, “PSG has not received any notice from LFP or UEFA. Or there is no record of Mbappe’s legal action to demand a contract with PSG that expired on June 30.”
Meanwhile, Mbappe’s mother, Faiza Lamari, spoke to the French media ‘Le Parisien’ in July about the issue.
Ramari said, “Now it’s in the hands of Mbappe’s agent. But I believe PSG will solve this quickly. We just got the documents. A decision will be made. I don’t want all these things to blur everything we’ve experienced. I want to remember the positive things at PSG.”
When asked, “Can everything be dealt with in court?” Lamari said, “If you don’t have a choice, of course you do. I really want the contract I signed two years ago to be respected. No one can say what happened, neither PSG nor our representatives. For two years, Mbappe and Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi have had one meeting each other except once.”
Mbappe transferred to Real Madrid this summer. There was no transfer fee due to the expiration of the contract with PSG.
According to various media, Mbappe’s annual salary for five years at Real is expected to be close to 15 million euros (about 22.4 billion won), and the down payment is expected to reach 150 million euros (about 224.2 billion won).
However, Mbappe had a strained relationship with PSG even before the transfer. He has not received any salary since April, when his transfer to Real is imminent.
French media ‘L’Quipe’ reported in June, “The club did not give Mbappe a royalty bonus in October as a contract. However, in February, we decided to pay this amount to Mbappe,” adding, “A close aide to Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi explained that he wanted to confirm that Real Madrid would eventually give them a certain amount of money.”
“However, Florentino Perez never intended to do that and insisted that Real would not be able to pay PSG even one euro for a player whose contract is already out in June. Al-Khelaifi does not like it at all and he still hates Perez. The issues between the two sides have grown considerably in recent years.”
PSG took revenge on Mbappe.
The media said, “The club forgot to give Mbappe an April salary in return and did not even give him a bonus in February. This was confirmed by a person close to PSG. This was done to save 80 million euros.”
“Now, the club is trying to save 80 million euros in a different way after giving Mbappe a royalty bonus. Negotiations are underway in order for the club to save more money. However, there are no direct negotiations. In recent days, Mbappe and PSG’s legal representatives have communicated via email. Mbappe’s representative is demanding an April salary quickly, while the club wants a written agreement reminding them of their contract last summer,” he said.
What the club wants the most is for Mbappe to give up the 80 million euro royalty bonus again. They agreed to give up this in the summer, but the club has not given it up even though they have decided to pay the exact amount again. PSG seems to think of this amount as a transfer fee for Mbappe.
However, Mbappe apparently left PSG as an FA. Real Madrid will pay Mbappe, not PSG, 100 million euros in down payment, portrait rights and bonuses for five years.
Over time, with the 2024-2025 season starting, Mbappe again forewarned a legal dispute to former club PSG, and the relationship between the two is expected to be completely disrupted.
