Court Orders PSG To Pay Mbappe €60m

Paris St-Germain have been ordered to pay its former striker Kylian Mbappe €60m (£52.5m) in unpaid salary and bonuses by a French court.

Mbappe had been seeking 263m euros (£231.5m) from his former club after the long-running dispute reached a Paris labour court in November.

The European champions were counter suing the France captain for 240m euros (£211m).

The 26-year-old Real Madrid forward claimed the nine-figure sum, which included 55m euros (£46.3m) in unpaid wages, as damages in response to a contract dispute and ill-treatment by the club.

However, he has only been awarded a fraction of that amount, with the court recognising that PSG had failed to pay three months of his salary between April and June 2024 as well as an ethics bonus and a signing bonus under his contract.

“We are satisfied with this ruling. This is what you could expect when salaries went unpaid,” Mbappe’s lawyer Frederique Cassereau said.

PSG had been seeking compensation for Mbappe’s failed 300m euros transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in 2023.

He joined Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer the following summer.

Mbappé won 15 trophies with Paris Saint-Germain during his time at the club, including six Ligue 1 titles, four Coupes de France, two Coupes de la Ligue, and three Trophées des Champions (French Super Cups).
