the Professional Football League orders the club to pay the unpaid 55 million euros – Libération

Without any surprise, the joint appeals committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) rendered, this Friday, October 25, a favorable verdict to the captain of the Blues Kylian Mbappé, who claims 55 million euros in unpaid salary and various bonuses to his former employer, Paris-Saint-Germain, according to a source close to the matter cited by AFP. In September, the LFP advocated mediation between the two camps, rejected by the player: in the absence of an amendment to his employment contract, which both parties agree, it must be fully respected. The League immediately invited the management of the Parisian club to write the check. What she refused to do.

And since she has no intention of paying any more today, the affair should last. No less than five jurisdictions are likely to intervene. The management of Paris-SG may request the appeals committee of the French Football Federation (FFF), which supervises the LFP. And a possible decision of this appeals commission is subject to appeal before the administrative court, which can in turn request conciliation before the French National Olympic Committee (CNOSF). For his part, failing to see his contract executed, Mbappé, now at Real Madrid, can contact the European Football Union (UEFA), which could threaten a ban on recruiting if PSG does not comply. with the judgment that the court could render.

Mbappé can also bring the dispute before the industrial tribunal. A long battle is brewing. And if the outcome is in little doubt, the oral agreement invoked by the club and publicly confirmed by the player in September 2023 appearing fragile on a legal level, the French international could leave both energy and a part of its image, which will not emerge unscathed from the long-term conflict that is coming, particularly among supporters of the Parisian club. For those close to the player, this is the real goal pursued by PSG president Nasser al-Khelaïfi, Mbappé having made a link on and the difference between him and his former club. In this regard, each of the two parties could paradoxically achieve their respective ends.
