Eye-watering figures have been bandied around by both Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain during a legal dispute which has ratcheted up since the case went to court this week.
Mbappé, who left PSG at the end of his contract to join Real Madrid in 2024, has been claiming unpaid wages for more than a year. After initially appealing for the €55 million ($63.8 million) he believed to be owed, the France captain is now demanding in excess of €260 million ($301 million) to compensate him for his wages, unfair dismissal and moral damage.
PSG, in turn, want €440 million from the club’s all-time top scorer, arguing that Mbappé’s alleged deception denied them a transfer fee and even inflicted reputational damage. In truth, this situation isn’t particularly flattering for either party.
