Paris Court Rules PSG Must Pay Mbappé 60 Million Euros

A Paris labor court ruled on Tuesday that Paris Saint-Germain must pay Kylian Mbappé 60 million euros in unpaid salary and bonuses, marking a partial resolution to a contentious dispute between the French soccer club and its former star forward. The decision, handed down in the French capital, addresses claims related to three months of wages owed to the 26-year-old player from April to June 2024, just before his departure to Real Madrid.

The court determined that PSG failed to fulfill contractual obligations, including payments for an ethics bonus and a signing bonus, as previously recognized by two decisions from the French Professional Football League in September and October 2024. Judges noted that the club provided no evidence of any agreement by Mbappé to waive these entitlements. Mbappé, who did not attend the hearing, had initially sought 55 million euros but expanded his claim to over 260 million euros, incorporating demands for damages related to alleged unfair treatment and contract breaches. PSG countered with its own lawsuit, seeking between 240 million and 440 million euros in compensation for financial losses tied to Mbappé's free transfer exit.
