In the PSG salary dispute, Kylian Mbappe declines the French league
The French Football League (LFP) extended an offer to mediate a disagreement between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappe regarding outstanding pay and bonuses for the striker.
However, Mbappe's entourage declined the offer. According to Mbappe, PSG owes him 55 million euros ($60.6 million), which the 25-year-old agreed to waive in August 2023.
The Real Madrid forward has requested the amount, which covers his three remaining months of pay, his signing bonus—which he was hoping to get in February—as well as a "ethical bonus" for the same time frame.
Attorneys for both sides convened early on Wednesday following Mbappe's case being referred to the LFP's legal committee. Mbappe joined Madrid this summer. The league then offered to act as a mediator.
"The commission insisted on mediation between the parties, which Paris Saint-Germain has been requesting for several months, in light of the club's oral and written reasons. "The commission has now invited the player to consider the mediation process," they continued.
