Total War! Mbappé One Step Away from Real Madrid… But He's Demanding €55 Million from PSG for Unpaid Wages!

The Mbappé romance is coming to an end with Madrid, but a bombshell has exploded: the French star is claiming €55 million from PSG for unpaid wages and bonuses in a legal battle initiated in February. The divorce is getting ugly!

The football world is holding its breath. Kylian Mbappé, after years of rumors and speculation, is about to be officially announced as a new Real Madrid player. The French forward, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in June, will finally fulfill his dream of wearing the white jersey, in a move that will shake up the market.

Although he technically arrives as a free agent, the deal is far from free for Real Madrid. Mbappé will reportedly receive a astronomical signing fee of over £85 million (more than €100 million), payable in installments over his five-year contract. This record-breaking fee makes up for the lack of a club-to-club transfer.

But the real financial intrigue is not in Madrid, but in Paris.

While Mbappé packs his bags, his lawyers are waging a legal battle against PSG. According to reports, the player's legal team is demanding a staggering €55 million (about $60 million) in allegedly unpaid wages and bonuses from the Parisian club.

Mbappé's lead lawyer, Delphine Verheyden, stated that the legal process began in February 2024 and that, since then, "PSG has not fulfilled its contractual obligations." She accuses the club of not having paid the full amount stipulated in the signed contracts, especially after the 2022 extension.

This financial conflict adds a layer of tension and scandal to the end of Mbappé's time in Paris. What seemed like an inevitable but relatively cordial departure now turns into a potentially very contentious and costly divorce for PSG.

It also reveals the complexity of contractual relationships in elite football and how astronomical fees can generate disputes even when a player leaves "free." Real Madrid, which waited patiently to acquire its galactico, watches from a distance as its future star comes to terms with his past.

An official announcement of the signing is imminent, possibly before the European Championship, but the financial war between Mbappé and PSG could drag on much longer.
