According to the complaint, PSG removed him from the main group and forced him to train with reserve players. This measure, according to MbappĆ©, was a way of pressuring him into signing a contract extension. The Paris Prosecutor’s Office has already confirmed that the complaint was registered.
The conflict dates back to summer 2023, when MbappƩ communicated that he would not renew his link with PSG. In response, the club left him out of the calls and withdrew usual benefits of the first team. MbappƩ believes that this violated his rights as a worker. Furthermore, he claims the payment of 55 million euros in salaries and bonuses that, according to him, the club never paid him. The complaint also seeks compensation for damages suffered.
Two judges have been assigned to investigate whether there was a crime in the way PSG treated the player. If it is proven that there was harassment or coercion, there could be legal consequences for the club. Meanwhile, MbappƩ has also filed a labor lawsuit against the civil courts and the French Football League. In a first ruling, the LFP ruled in his favor and ordered PSG to pay him the money. The club has appealed and the process remains open.
Beyond the money, there are possible sports consequences at stake. One of the striker’s lawyers has warned that if this case reaches the UEFA, PSG could lose its license to compete in European tournaments. This warning increases the pressure on the club in the midst of an already tense context with the player. The team, for now, has not made public statements on the matter.
