Mbappe demands €100M unpaid wages, bonuses from PSG
Kylian Mbappe has reportedly demanded €100 million in unpaid wages and bonuses from his former club, Paris Saint-Germain.
According to L’Equipe, the France captain has not received payment since April, following his recent move to Real Madrid.
Mbappe, who is currently representing France at Euro 2024, left PSG earlier this month after signing a five-year deal with Real Madrid.
However, financial matters with his former club remain unresolved. The €100 million owed includes part of his salary from April and a bonus from February.

talkSPORT reports that last summer, Mbappe agreed to forgo €55 million in bonuses under certain conditions, but this agreement was never formalized in writing.
Mbappe expressed frustration over his treatment by PSG, stating, “They made me understand that I wouldn’t play for PSG… they spoke to me with violence.”
Despite being sidelined at the start of the season, Mbappe was reinstated by head coach Luis Enrique and went on to score 44 goals.
He credits Enrique and football advisor Luis Campos for his return to the pitch, saying, “Without Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, I wouldn’t have set foot on the pitch. They saved me.”
It is argued that Mbappe’s time at PSG ended on a contentious note, with focus now on helping France, although he is yet to score a goal in the Euro 2024 tournament.
