In one of the biggest transfers of the summer, Kylian Mbappe made the move from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid. However, his departure from PSG was not without controversy. The French league's appeals commission recently ruled that PSG must pay Mbappe 55 million Euros in unpaid wages. This decision was upheld after PSG appealed the ruling, and the LFP stated that the club must pay Mbappe the wages he is owed.
Despite PSG's insistence that they did not owe Mbappe money, the LFP's decision remained unchanged. This means that the club is required to pay Mbappe the amount he is claiming, and there is no option to appeal this decision. However, PSG can bring the matter before the executive committee of the French Football Federation.
Mbappe's dispute with PSG began when he rejected a mediation offer from the commission. He claimed that the club owed him three months' salary and the last third of a loyalty bonus. This dispute ultimately led to his departure from PSG, where he had scored an impressive 256 goals in seven years.
Mbappe's move to Real Madrid has not been without challenges. He has faced a difficult start to his career with the Spanish club and has only scored eight goals in 13 matches. This is a far cry from his record at PSG, but he remains determined to prove himself at his new club.
The relationship between Mbappe and PSG ended on a sour note, with tensions running high and some fans even booing him in his last home game. Despite being offered the most lucrative contract in club history, Mbappe felt let down by the club's failure to sign key players. He was also frustrated by a contract misunderstanding, as he was under the impression that his contract was until 2025, when it was actually until 2024 with a player's option for an extra year.
In June of last year, Mbappe shocked PSG by informing them that he would not take the option for an extra year. This put the club in a difficult position, as they would need to sell him to avoid losing him for nothing when his contract expired. There were tense negotiations regarding his potential transfer, and at one point, Mbappe was even left out of the lineup for a league game. However, he eventually returned to the team and continued to play for PSG until his departure this summer.
Even though Mbappe's departure was inevitable, it was not without tension and drama. He rejected a 300 million euro move to a Saudi team and ultimately left on a free transfer to Real Madrid. PSG may feel let down by Mbappe's actions, but they were unable to keep him at the club due to their failure to fulfill promises made to him.
