French Football Federation Declines PSG's Request in Mbappé Wage Dispute
The Federation ruled that PSG's appeal over €55 million in unpaid wages to Mbappé was submitted too late, leaving the club liable for the payment.
- Kylian Mbappé is owed €55 million by PSG, including unpaid salaries for April, May, and June, as well as a loyalty bonus and an ethical bonus.
- The French Football Federation (FFF) stated that PSG's appeal was invalid as it was submitted one day past the deadline, following a ruling by the French league's appeals commission in favor of Mbappé.
- PSG argued that Mbappé had verbally agreed to waive the bonuses after being sidelined for refusing to extend his contract, but the player disputed this claim.
- Mbappé rejected mediation offers earlier in the dispute, citing his contractual rights under French football regulations, and has since joined Real Madrid on a free transfer.
- The dispute could escalate further, with PSG exploring additional legal options through labor or administrative courts or the French National Olympic and Sports Committee.
