LFP recommends mediation between Kylian Mbappé and PSG | OneFootball

According to a report by LÉquipe and RMC Sport, the Ligue de Football Professionnel’s (LFP) legal committee has recommended Kylian Mbappé (25) and Paris Saint-Germain set up a legal mediation following their ongoing dispute over unpaid wages and bonuses.

Mbappé contacted the LFP’s legal committee on the 8th of August bringing his dispute with PSG to their attention. The Real Madrid player claims that PSG have not paid him €55 million from his final season at the club.

His former team disputes his claims and believe that these arrears are justified by a gentleman’s agreement that protected the club if the forward were to leave as a free agent. However, it has been reported that this agreement was never ratified between the two parties.

PSG welcomes the recommendation from the LFP’s legal department

PSG have welcomed the recommendation by the LFP’s legal committee to agree to a mediation, revealing in a public statement, “The Club recalled that the player had made clear commitments, repeated in public and in private, and that these commitments must be respected by the player, in the context of seven fantastic seasons corresponding to an unprecedented investment by the Club.”

They continued, “In light of the documented arguments, the Commission insisted on the establishment of mediation between the parties, which Paris Saint-Germain has been seeking for many months. The Commission invited the player to consider this mediation process.”
