Financial disputes between Kylian Mbappé and PSG are likely to be resolved in court in the near future.

According to L’Equipe, both parties are scheduled to appear before the Legal Committee of the Ligue 1 Organizing Committee (LFP) on September 11 to address Mbappé’s claim that PSG owes him €55 million.

The LFP’s Legal Committee requires both sides to present documents and evidence related to the case. If the committee finds Mbappé’s complaint valid, the case will be escalated to a civil court.

RMC reports that the LFP hopes for an amicable settlement between PSG and Mbappé, but such an outcome seems unlikely. Despite ongoing negotiations between the lawyers for the past three months, the meeting on September 11 may not resolve the issue.

Mbappé alleges that PSG owes him €55 million, covering salaries for May and June and a bonus that was supposed to be paid in February. PSG, however, contends that Mbappé had previously agreed to forgo an €80 million loyalty bonus in the summer of 2023, as he intended to leave the club on a free transfer when his contract expired.

Thus, PSG argues that they have justification for not paying the salaries and bonus, as the amount owed matches the €80 million loyalty fee.

Conversely, Mbappé asserts that he never signed any documents related to waiving his loyalty bonus.

At the end of August, Mbappé and his legal team not only filed a lawsuit in French courts but also lodged complaints with the Ligue 1 Organizing Committee, the French Football Federation, and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

Should Mbappé’s claims be upheld by the French courts, PSG will be required to pay the owed amount. Failure to resolve the dispute could result in PSG facing sanctions from UEFA or even FIFA, including transfer bans or restrictions on participation in UEFA or FIFA competitions.
