The French champions refuse to pay Mbappe's salary for his last three months of the contract

Executives at Paris Saint-Germain responded to Kylian Mbappé’s recent criticism of the club, stating that they had “spoken to him in a forceful manner.” During a press conference, Mbappé revealed that he had been assured he would not play for the rest of the season, adding fuel to the strained relationship between the player and the club.

In a brief statement to AFP, PSG expressed regret over their all-time top scorer’s comments, noting that his remarks “lack class.” A PSG source emphasized that club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has never dictated or made decisions for the team, countering Mbappé’s claims.

The relationship between Mbappé and PSG has deteriorated significantly following a tumultuous end to the season. This period has been marked by conflicts between Mbappé and Al-Khelaifi, as well as discrepancies regarding the financial aspects of Mbappé’s departure from the club.

According to “L’Equipe,” PSG has not paid Mbappé’s salaries for April and May and is unlikely to pay for June either, creating further tension. PSG aims to “save” around 80 million euros as a result of Mbappé’s decision to leave as a free agent.

Currently, lawyers from both sides are exchanging letters, with Mbappé’s representatives insisting that the owed amounts be paid according to the contract. PSG maintains that their stance is justified. If an agreement cannot be reached, the legal services of the French Professional Football League may need to intervene to resolve the dispute.
