Mbappe wins billion-rand case against PSG
The Star
|December 17, 2025
PARIS Saint-Germain were ordered to pay their former forward Kylian Mbappe up to €61 million (about R1.2 billion) in unpaid wages and bonuses by a French labour court yesterday.
-
France captain Mbappe, who left PSG in June 2024 to join Real Madrid, had been claiming over €260m (R5.13bn) in total from his former club. PSG, in turn, had demanded that Mbappe pay them €440m (R8.68bn).
Mbappe, 26, also claimed the Parisian club applied the wrong French legal classification to his contract, but this was rejected by the court.
The labour court said the final figure of between €60m and €61m comprised €55m (R1.08bn) in unpaid salary and around €6m (R118m) in holiday payments. Qatari-owned PSG did not immediately indicate whether they intend to appeal.
Lawyers for Mbappe said in a statement they “noted with satisfaction the decision given by the labour court”.
