Mbappe ups PSG compensation claims to $300M
"Mbappé, who did not attend the hearing, previously claimed he was owed €55 million ($63 million) by the reigning European champion. He now demands more than €260 million ($301 million) from the club, arguing that PSG owes him that money because his fixed-term contract should be reclassified as a permanent one. Such a reclassification would trigger compensation for unfair dismissal, unpaid wages, bonuses, and severance."
"PSG, meanwhile, is seeking a total of €440 million ($510 million) from the striker including €180 million ($208 million) for a 'loss of opportunity' to complete his transfer since he left as a free agent after he declined a €300 million ($348 million) offer from Saudi club Al Hilal in July 2023. PSG said in a statement it also wants compensation for breaches of good faith in both negotiations and contract performance, as well as reputational and image damage."
An industrial court examined a financial dispute between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé after the player claimed unpaid wages. Mbappé, absent from the hearing, initially sought €55 million and now demands over €260 million, arguing his fixed-term contract should be reclassified as permanent to trigger compensation for unfair dismissal, unpaid wages, bonuses, and severance. He also claims damages for moral harassment, undeclared work, and breaches of PSG's duty of good faith and safety. PSG counters by seeking €440 million, including €180 million for a lost transfer opportunity and compensation for breaches of good faith and reputational damage. A court decision is expected next month.
