The BBC reported on the 18th (Korea time) that Mbappe and PSG have launched a complaint. Mbappe filed a lawsuit against PSG to compensate 263 million euros (about 445.8 billion won), including 55 million euros (about 93.2 billion won) in unpaid salary for unfair treatment during the contract dispute. However, PSG has filed a counter-action, saying that the unpaid wages are compensation for the failure to fulfill the 300 million euros (about 508.5 billion won) transfer contract signed with Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia) in 2023.
Mbappe refused to transfer to Saudi Arabia in July 2023 when he was a member of PSG. After that, he refused to extend his contract, and eventually moved to Real Madrid as a free agent. PSG claim Mbappe has agreed to give up some of his unpaid salary for the club as he leaves the team, but Mbappe dismissed it as a "ridiculous story".
The Paris District Court held its first hearing on the 17th and listened to both sides. PSG later said in a statement that "Mbappe has seriously violated its contractual obligations and must compensate for any damages suffered by the club."I violated my duty of integrity by concealing my intention to extend my contract for 11 months from July 2022 to June 2023." It is also true that there has been bullying within the team, and PSG has given exceptional benefits in the seven years it has been with Mbappe" he said.
Mbappe was a symbol of PSG. From 2017 to last year, he scored 256 goals in a total of 308 games at PSG, sweeping various tournament trophies. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, he reached his career peak by lifting the trophy. However, he crossed the river where he could not return due to disputes over going to Saudi Arabia and a free-agent transfer to Real Madrid. Mbappe only asked PSG to pay unpaid salaries immediately after moving to Real Madrid, but PSG refused. The dispute between the two sides was directed to mediation by the French Football Association (FFF), but without reaching an agreement, it eventually leads to a legal dispute.
