Kylian Mbapé issued instructions to lawyers to launch a wave of legal procedures to restore 55 million euros, the French football star claims to be owed to unpaid wages and rewards by his former club Paris Saint -Germain.

The conflict stems from the transfer of Mabei in 2024 destroyed to the Spanish giants of Real Madrid, the next year of temporary marginalization by Paris Saint -Germain, who claims to be brought down from the team after he refused to extend his contract in the club.

At a press conference in Paris announces criminal and civil suits, one of Mbappe’s lawyer, Thomas Clay, said: “I remind you that Kylian Mbappe is the leader of the French national team, he is the highest scorer in the club’s history and that he owes a little confession: This is the saying, he pays his salaries.”

Another of his lawyer, Dolphin Feriden, said that it was time to go in the attack “against Paris Saint -Germain, adding that the civil court in Paris had granted an order to freeze 55 million euros of the club’s assets.

The legal campaign reveals the deep intensity that arose between the captain of the French football team and PSG, the prominent club in France.

Paris Saint -Germain, owned by QATARI, said that the version of MBAPE, which was called 19 -year -old when he played a major role in the 2018 World Cup victory in France, was present in a “world parallel to fictional story.”

The club added: “The Benus of the General Security still fails to understand the reason for Killian Mbappe’s refusal of a friendly decision, while he still refuses to transfer his case to the Labor Court, which is the only court eligible to settle the dispute.”

MBAPEM’s lawyers, who became the second most valuable player in all ages when the club signed for 180 million euros in 2017, said they filed a complaint with the French Football Association asking him to notify the European Football Association, the European Football Governor, that he owes unpaid wages.

They claim that this can prevent Paris Saint -Germain from playing in the Champions League, the most competitive in the European Club. A person close to PSG reduced the possibility. UEFA refused to comment.

MBAPé lawyers said they also intend to stir a dispute in the work courts.

MBAPé claims that after he confirmed in February 2024 that he would leave Paris Saint -Germain, the French club refused to push him from April to June 2024, when he signed Real Madrid for free.

Paris Saint -Germain said that the player has orally agreed to give up his wages. While the club denies that it owes money, a person familiar with the matter said it was allocating 55 million euros if the payment was requested.

A MBAPé lawyer said that the player, who is widely considered one of the best players in the world, also aims to file a criminal complaint against PSG for “moral harassment” with the prosecutors in France in the coming days. The player claims that the Paris Saint -Germain decision to exclude him in 2023 was a form of blackmail to make him sign a new contract.

Separately, MBAPEM’s lawyers said they are taking action against X and Meta in a criminal court because of the alleged and alleged social media sites of him and his mother, who was linked to standing on his salary.

X rejected the comment. You did not respond immediately on a request for comment.

Paris Saint -Germain has continued to control French football since the departure of Mbappe, and won the local league for this season, and this week beat Aston Villa in the first stage of the Champions League quarter -finals.
