Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé has approached French football authorities to recover “unpaid” wages and bonuses from Paris Saint-Germain, Radio France’s sports management learned via several sources close to the case on Tuesday, August 20, confirming information of the World.

Kylian Mbappé has thus seized the legal commission of the Professional Football League (LFP) and UEFA through the French Football Federation (FFF). The 2018 world champion is claiming a little over 55 million euros gross in salaries for the months of April, May and June, as well as bonuses that he should have received with PSG.

A formal notice was initially sent to the Parisian club, but negotiations between the two parties did not progress, with PSG believing that commitments had been made between the player and the club.

“We managed to protect all parties and preserve the club’s serenity for the challenges to come,” Kylian Mbappé had declared last January. An agreement in which he agreed to give up bonuses and salaries. An agreement that fizzled out.

Two letters were therefore sent, the first on August 8 to the LFP legal committee, another on August 13 to the French Football Federation to inform the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

Contacted, Paris Saint-Germain did not receive “no notification” from the Professional Football League or the French Football Federation on this subject. Furthermore, the club “wishes not to comment on the ongoing discussions, which have been taking place constructively for many months, and the club continues to respectfully engage on the matter”If no solution is found, Kylian Mbappé reserves the right to take the matter to the industrial tribunal.
