Paris Saint-Germain were ordered to pay their former forward Kylian Mbappé up to €61 million in unpaid wages and bonuses by a French labor court on Tuesday, December 16. France captain Mbappé, who left PSG in June 2024 to join Real Madrid, had been claiming over €260 million in total from his former club. PSG in turn had demanded Mbappé pay them €440 million. Mbappé, 26, also claimed the Parisian club applied the wrong French legal classification to his contract, but that was rejected by the court.

The labor court said the final figure of between €60 million and €61 million was made up of €55 million in unpaid salary and around €6 million in holiday payments. Qatari-owned PSG did not immediately say if they intend to appeal. Lawyers for Mbappé said in a statement they "noted with satisfaction the decision given by the labor court." "It re-establishes a simple truth – even in the professional football industry, labor laws apply to everyone," the lawyers added in a statement.
