PARIS.- He PSG and Kylian Mbappé They have an appointment before the joint resources commission of the French Professional Football League (LFP) on October 15 after the appeal presented by the club in the case of the 55 million euros (65 million dollars) unpaid in salaries and bonuses .
Depending on what this commission decides, other remedies are possible: the French Football Federation (FFF) and an administrative court can reach a conciliation before the French National Olympic Committee (CNOSF) or before a labor court.
The two parties will meet beforehand at the commission scheduled for the afternoon of October 15, sources confirmed, following information published in L’Équipe.
Mbappé demands payment of the 55 million, which includes the last third of a signing bonus (36 million euros gross), which the player was supposed to receive in February, as well as the last three months of salaries provided for in his contract (April, May and June) and an “ethical bonus” over those three months.
Club response
According to PSG, the player has not respected a verbal agreement that would have been reached in August 2023, by which Mbappé would have renounced a part of the bonuses after having been away from the team for a month.
Mbappé’s entourage considers, according to L’Équipe, that this August 2023 agreement is not valid as it has not been signed. PSG defends that it was a verbal agreement made in front of numerous witnesses and that the footballer himself had alluded to it on January 3 in statements to the press, which is why it considers that it has legal value.
The footballer, since the start of the new season at Real Madrid, had appealed to the LFP legal commission.
The commission initially advocated mediation, but when the player refused, they opted to request PSG to pay those 55 million euros.
The capital club presented an appeal to the LFP, whose hearing will be on October 15.
