"France captain Kylian Mbappe had been seeking 231.5 million in damages from PSG, including 46.3m in unpaid wages, in response to a contract dispute and alleged ill-treatment by the club. The saga stemmed from the forward opting to turn down a 259m move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in 2023, before he later refused to sign a contract extension at PSG."
"Mbappe was then not invited on the club's pre-season tour of Asia and missed their first match of the 2023/24 season. He joined Real Madrid for free the following summer. The 2018 World Cup winner claimed he was sidelined by the club following his failed transfer to the Saudi Pro League, while PSG were counter-suing the player for 211m as part of the bitter dispute, which reached a Paris labour court last month."
Paris Saint-Germain have dominated French football since their 2011 Qatar Sports Investments takeover, winning 11 of the past 14 Ligue 1 titles, eight of the past 11 Coupe de France crowns and the club's first Champions League last season. The 2024/25 campaign produced a Treble under Luis Enrique. France captain Kylian Mbappé pursued €231.5m in damages, including €46.3m claimed unpaid wages, after rejecting a €259m move to Al-Hilal and later refusing a contract extension. Mbappé was omitted from the 2023 pre-season tour and missed PSG's opening 2023/24 match before joining Real Madrid for free. PSG counter-sued for €211m; a Paris labour court ordered PSG to pay €52.6m.
