PSG Ordered to Pay Mbappé €61 Million in Wage Dispute

Paris Saint-Germain FC (PSG) has been ordered by the Paris labor court to pay striker Kylian Mbappé €61 million in unpaid wage bonuses, resolving a protracted contract dispute that began during the 2023-24 season. The court ruled that PSG owed Mbappé salary and loyalty bonuses from the final month of his contract.

PSG has decided not to appeal this ruling, which they described as a decision that closes a dispute that has lasted several months. The conflict arose after Mbappé announced he would not renew his contract beyond June 2024, leading to tensions within the club and temporarily sidelining him from first-team activities.

Despite the disagreements over payments, Mbappé returned to the squad and played throughout the season. Following this ruling, Mbappé is set to leave PSG in 2024 on a free transfer to Real Madrid CF, marking the end of a high-profile chapter in the club's recent history.
