Kylian Mbappé‘s move to Real Madrid may have ended his seven-year spell with Paris Saint-Germain but it has not been a clean break. The Parisian star is engaged in an ongoing dispute with his former club over a reported $57 million in unpaid payments.
The 26-year-old has been tight-lipped in public about the huge outstanding payment but on Friday Mbappé‘s lawyer, Delphine Verheyden, spoke to French publication L’Équipe about the case. In her statement, she claimed that PSG are attempting to “escape the rules of soccer” by not paying Mbappé.
She continued: “[PSG] are ready to tear down the system rather than comply with its obligations. If the governing bodies don’t protect the contracts and their regulations, we are sending a strong signal that says: ‘You can trample on the players’.”
The dispute relates to $57 million in unpaid bonuses that PSG are refusing to pay. The French club claim that Mbappé verbally agreed to waive the bonuses in order to ease his path back into the team after being sidelined at the start of the 2023/24 season.
Back in October an LFP legal commission in France ruled that PSG were still liable for the outstanding bonuses, but the club swiftly launched an appeal. In doing so the club has taken the French league to court, a move that Verheyden claims is threatening the legitimacy of the competition.
“To participate in a professional championship, PSG must accept the rules. But in the end it says that the League and the Federation have no power over it as a club. This is becoming a much bigger problem than my client’s case. It could blow up the whole system,” she explained.
