The French League agrees with Mbappe and demands that PSG pay him 55 million euros | TUDN La Liga

A club spokesman told EFE that PSG does not intend to pay this amount and that if necessary it will go to the labor authorities, while denying that this is a victory for Mbappe.

This is the second time that French sporting authorities have ruled in favor of a footballer after the LFP legal commission, but PSG have other resources, the first time before Higher Appeal Commissionwhich depends on the French Football Federation (FFF).

“Now that the Appeal Commission has confirmed the decision of the Legal Commission, PSG will be forced to refer the matter to the competent courts, continuing, despite repeated bad faith, to try to find an amicable solution with the player,” the spokesman said. .

He pointed out that these decisions arise from the player’s refusal to accept reconciliation, which brings the case to traditional justice, which can accept ” months or years“when making a decision.

At the center of the conflict are 55 million euros in salary and bonusesthat PSG retained Mbappe based on a verbal agreement between them to unblock the French club’s Qatari owners’ decision to remove him from the first team at the start of last season.

This deal, which Mbappe has occasionally mentioned to the press, is what PSG are clinging to in order to avoid paying that amount, but the player’s lawyers believe it is invalid and has expired.

It is the culmination of a relationship that deteriorated over the years and ultimately ended wrongly.

Mbappe signed a two-year extension to his contract with PSG in 2022, plus one more season. Shortly before the end of his first season, he stated that he did not want to activate the clause in the third year, which led to the club giving him an ultimatum: either extend his contract or leave the club that same summer of 2023.
