"The ruling on Tuesday followed months of legal wrangling after the France striker took PSG to court over earnings he said were withheld for April, May and June 2024, shortly before he left the Ligue 1 club to join Real Madrid on a free transfer. The court found PSG had failed to pay three months of Mbappe's salary, an ethics bonus and a signing bonus due under his employment contract."
"Those sums were recognised as due by two decisions of the French Professional Football League in September and October 2024, and the judges said PSG had not produced any written agreement showing Mbappe had waived his entitlement. The judges rejected PSG's arguments that Mbappe should forfeit his unpaid wages entirely but also dismissed several of the player's additional claims, including allegations of concealed work, moral harassment and breach of the employer's duty of safety."
"This judgment confirms that commitments entered into must be honoured. It restores a simple truth: even in the professional football industry, labour law applies to everyone, Mbappe's legal team said in a statement."
Paris labour court ordered Paris Saint-Germain to pay Kylian Mbappe €60 million in unpaid salary and bonuses after he claimed earnings were withheld for April, May and June 2024 before his move to Real Madrid. The court found PSG had failed to pay three months' salary, an ethics bonus and a signing bonus under his employment contract. Two French Professional Football League decisions had recognised those sums as due in September and October 2024, and the judges said PSG produced no written waiver from Mbappe. The judges rejected PSG's bid to forfeit the wages but dismissed several of Mbappe's other claims.
