PSG Won't Pay Kylian Mbappé, Case Taken to Court
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has decided not to subscribe to the 55 million euros claimed by Kylian Mbappé, who has raised a legal meeting between the player and the club. The Legal Commission of the Liga Professional de Fútbol (LFP) has decided in favor of Mbappé, ordering PSG to pay the exact amount of unpaid records and salaries corresponding to the months of April, May and June. However, the Parisian club has expressed its intention to take the case to the courts, ensuring that it will present all relevant arguments in the coming months and years.
Despite the LFP's decision, which is not convincing, PSG argued that the Commission has legal limitations that prevent the execution of the bankruptcy. The LFP asked Mbappé to consider a conciliation agreement with the club to avoid legal proceedings, but the delantero, who now played for Real Madrid, responded to this proposal. After this refusal, the Commission ruled that PSG had to make the payment that Mbappé had been requesting since June.
PSG, surprised by Mbappé's decision not to accept conciliation, indicated that it has solid arguments to defend itself in a juicy future and that the process could drag on for several years at the Labor Court. The club also expressed its dismay before the player's negative, especially after having signed a historic contract in 2022 and his supposed verbal promise to president Nasser Al Khelaïfi in August, after the Supercopa de France.
With the decision not to cause the bankruptcy of the LFP, Mbappé has the right to take the case to the Labor Court to demand the payment of 55 million. However, since the resolution of the Legal Commission does not oblige the parties to complete it immediately, the dispute will probably be transferred to a court where the legal dispute will be resolved.
PSG, when consulted by AS, reiterated its position, stating that the Commission had repeatedly suggested mediation between the club and the player to obtain recognition. However, this mediation was contacted by Mbappé, which led PSG to consider that the case should be dealt with in a different legal forum. The club was thrilled to have obtained significant benefits from Mbappé during his years in Paris and hopes that the player will respect his compromises.
The situation has highlighted the complexity of the relationship between PSG and Mbappé, as well as the legal implications that could arise from this conflict. As the case moves towards the courts, it is anticipated that more details will be presented on the contractual situation and the expectations of both parties.
In short, PSG and Kylian Mbappé find themselves engaged in a dispute that promises to be long-lasting, with the football community involved closely watching this legal dispute that could have significant repercussions for both.
