The ongoing battle between Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain has kept both parties busy in recent weeks.
Real Madrid star Mbappe is seeking a fee of around €55 million as unpaid debt from his former employers.
PSG, on the other hand, maintain they have no such unpaid amount due to the Frenchman. All of this has led to an elongated legal fight between the two parties.
French Football steps in
According to Mundo Deportivo, The French Professional Football League (LFP) has stepped in to mediate the escalating dispute between Kylian Mbappe and PSG.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the LFP urged both parties to enter negotiations with the aid of a mediator to resolve the financial dispute.
PSG, in response, expressed satisfaction with the LFP’s involvement, emphasizing that they have been advocating for this mediation process for several months.
Mbappe’s representatives have not yet responded to the LFP’s decision.
The striker, who left PSG on a free transfer after his contract expired on June 30, is demanding compensation that includes a portion of his annual loyalty bonus and three months’ wages.
Additionally, Mbappe has taken his case to UEFA, appealing the alleged non-payment.
The LFP’s legal committee, which is overseeing the case, has the authority to impose sanctions on PSG, including a potential ban on new signings if the club fails to meet its financial obligations.
PSG, however, remain firm, insisting that Mbappe had previously agreed to forego certain payments if he left the club on a free transfer, as he did this summer.
