Kylian Mbappe has reportedly contacted UEFA over a £47million payment the Frenchman claims he did not receive during his time at Paris Saint-Germain.
According to reports from The worldThe total amount includes the signing bonus the player was initially due to receive in February, and the last three months of his salary.
The France international left Les Parisiens this summer after his contract expired, before moving to Real Madrid.
Since then, the 25-year-old has made two appearances for the LaLiga title holders, scoring his debut goal against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup and winning his first trophy with the club.
Despite his move, Mbappé’s situation remains linked to his former club, with him reportedly taking the matter to UEFA, the French Professional Football Federation and the French Football Federation.
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has reportedly contacted UEFA over his unpaid £47million bonus by Paris Saint-Germain
According to reports, the amount includes part of his signing bonus that was due to be paid in February, as well as his salary for the past three months.
Meanwhile, PSG are reportedly refusing to pay Mbappe the bonus as the player has guaranteed the club he will not leave for free.
Earlier, Mail Sport reported that Mbappé and PSG had parted ways on good terms. It had been agreed that the striker would leave on a free transfer in the summer transfer window.
As part of the deal, it was understood the 25-year-old would hand over a portion of his bonus and salary, but the player is now demanding the money owed to him by the club.
According to French media, PSG and its largest shareholder Qatar Sports Investments owe Mbappe €55m (£47m), which includes part of his signing bonus and salary for the last three months – April, May and June.
Previous reports suggested the Ligue 1 title holders were refusing to pay Mbappe his salary in a bid to secure the promised loyalty bonus from his contract extension until 2022.
In addition, PSG now believe that Mbappe should not receive the money he is entitled to, as there was an agreement that he would not leave the club for free.
The club have reportedly issued a written warning over the matter in response to Mbappé’s action.
In June, it was reported that the striker sent PSG a formal notice over £85million in unpaid bills after claiming they had simply ‘forgotten’ to pay his salary.
However, sources at PSG have exclusively told Mail Sport that the club ‘does not wish to comment on the ongoing discussions.’
It is believed that Les Parisiens have not yet been approached by UEFA, FPFL or FFF.
It was previously believed that Mbappe and PSG had parted ways on good terms, with the Frenchman assuring the club that he would hand over part of his bonus and salary
Although the dispute started in the 2023-24 season, Mbappé showed his respect when he left PSG in May at the Globe Soccer Awards.
“It is always an honor for me to be here with you,” he said.
“We have won many trophies and thanks to my teammates, to everyone who has helped me. It is part of the journey and I want to work hard to keep my name in the history of football,” the Frenchman added.
