Kylian Mbappe, the rising football star, has demanded a staggering €100 million in unpaid wages and bonuses from his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Since his recent move to Real Madrid, he hasn’t received payment since April.

Representing France at Euro 2024, Mbappe left PSG earlier this month after signing a five-year deal with Real Madrid. However, financial disputes linger. The €100 million includes part of his April salary and a bonus from February.

Last summer, Mbappe verbally agreed to forgo €55 million in bonuses, but this understanding was never officially documented. His frustration with PSG’s treatment is evident: “They made me understand that I wouldn’t play for PSG… they spoke to me with violence.”
Despite a sidelined start to the season, head coach Luis Enrique reinstated Mbappe, who went on to score an impressive 44 goals. He attributes his return to the pitch to Enrique and football advisor Luis Campos: “Without them, I wouldn’t have set foot on the field. They saved me.”
Mbappe’s PSG chapter ended contentiously, but now his focus is on helping France, even though he’s yet to find the net in the Euro 2024 tournament.
