Kylian Mbappé's legal team is intensifying its dispute with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) over a claim for €55.4 million in unpaid wages.

Verheyden expressed concern that PSG's rigid stance could set a dangerous precedent for the entire football system.

PSG plans to take the matter to the Prud’hommes, the only court that can adjudicate this issue, which may delay the resolution for months or years.

Verheyden argued that PSG's actions could encourage other clubs to neglect their financial obligations to players, potentially undermining player rights.

Mbappé's claim includes a signing bonus of €36 million, three months of salary from April to June, and an ethical bonus for the same period.

PSG is refusing to pay the claimed amount, which has led to a standoff between the player and the club.

PSG maintains that the financial issue should be resolved in civil courts, alleging that Mbappé waived the €55.4 million during negotiations with president Nasser Al-Khelaifi last season.

The conflict originated from an agreement made in August 2023, when Mbappé refused to extend his contract with PSG, leading to his exclusion from the team and allowing him to join Real Madrid for free.

Despite favorable rulings from Ligue 1 governing bodies, PSG has not settled the debt, increasing tensions with Mbappé.

On December 11, 2024, the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) deemed Mbappé's previous complaint inadmissible, which PSG is contesting in court.

On December 20, 2024, Delphine Verheyden, Mbappé's lawyer, filed a new appeal with the French Football Federation (FFF) to compel PSG to comply with previous rulings favoring Mbappé.

Mbappé has warned PSG of potential legal action that could jeopardize the club's UEFA license and their ability to compete in the Champions League.
