Just hours before making his debut with Real Madrid against Barcelona, Kylian Mbappé has reportedly emerged victorious in his legal battle with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) over unpaid bonuses.
Although an official announcement is still awaited, French sources widely regard Mbappé as the winner of this high-stakes case. The tribunal of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) is expected to rule in favor of the Real Madrid forward, confirming his entitlement to a substantial sum, all before he steps into his first La Liga El Clásico at Santiago Bernabéu.
Both L’Equipe and Le Parisien report that Mbappé has claimed victory in his case against PSG, in which he sought €55 million due to unpaid amounts between April and June, including bonuses stipulated in his final contract with PSG. The final ruling is anticipated within hours, settling a tense dispute that strained the relationship between the player and his former club.
This legal proceeding follows a turbulent period for Mbappé, who faced pressures and alleged threats from PSG’s leadership regarding potential benching if he refused to extend his contract. The move to Real Madrid eventually resolved his playing future, and the expected verdict would bring closure to the financial claims dating back several months.
The LFP’s Parity Commission is set to issue the official ruling, with the expectation that PSG will be required to pay the full amount owed to Mbappé. This landmark decision unfolds as the forward prepares for one of the season’s most anticipated matches, marking a significant milestone both on and off the field.
