Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has dropped a bombshell on his former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) by initiating legal action over a staggering €55 million (₹511 Crore) in unpaid wages. This shocking move could see PSG facing expulsion from the UEFA Champions League.
According to a report by the French newspaper ‘Le Monde’, Mbappe is demanding the payment of €55 million, a sum he claims is owed under his previous contract with PSG.
The breakdown of this amount includes €36 million from a signing bonus that was due in February, as well as the last three months of wages and an ‘ethical bonus’ for the same period.
The situation escalates further as Mbappe has taken the matter to the legal committee of the French Professional Football League (LFP) and, through the French Football Federation (FFF), to UEFA.
With the LFP now involved, PSG could face severe repercussions, including a potential transfer ban and the revocation of their UEFA license an outcome that would ban them from participating in the Champions League.
The report adds that any club taking part in UEFA competition must provide proof they have no outstanding salary payments to their personnel due no later than February 28 preceding the license season
