Legal battles continue: Why PSG refuses to pay Mbappé?

Paris Saint-Germain, which was supposed to pay €55 million to its former player by midnight Friday as per the LFP's mandate, announced via a press release that it refuses to make the payment and plans to continue legal proceedings.

Details: Many expected that the conflict between Kylian Mbappé and PSG would not be resolved on Friday, despite the LFP's ruling that obliges the club to pay its former forward €55 million. This assumption proved correct, as the press release from the Parisian club did not indicate any willingness to settle the amount. On the contrary, the club intends to take the case to another court.

Quote: "PSG has appealed the LFP commission’s decision, despite its limited impact. The player made both public and private promises, which the club simply demands be fulfilled. Mbappé enjoyed unprecedented privileges at PSG for seven years. Now, the case will be transferred to another court," reads the statement from PSG.

Reminder: Last week, the LFP’s legal commission ordered PSG to pay Mbappé €55 million within a week—the amount the player is claiming as part of his salary for three months and unpaid bonuses from his final season with the club.
