The Mbappé saga, thought to be over, has exploded again. The former PSG superstar is demanding more than €250 million from the club… which is, in return, asking him for €440 million. A financial war of XXL proportions, far beyond the pitch.
Kylian Mbappé triggered an earthquake by demanding €253 million from his former club. According to Le Parisien, this colossal amount corresponds to “damages and interest,” unpaid salaries and bonuses and the club’s failure to requalify his fixed-term contract as a permanent one. A staggering claim that instantly reignited the battle between both sides.
PSG, unsurprisingly, immediately fired back. The Parisian club accuses Mbappé of breaking a crucial promise: that he would never leave on a free. As a result, PSG is demanding €180 million in compensation, arguing the striker deliberately trapped the club by running down his contract, causing massive financial damage.
A €300M Saudi offer… that changes everything
To support its case, PSG pulled out a bombshell: a €300 million bid from Saudi Arabia in January 2023, publicly revealed at the time. Mbappé turned it down, depriving PSG of a world-record transfer and strengthening the club’s belief that he had already planned to leave for free. A detail that weighs heavily in this legal duel.
The numbers are simply mind-blowing
– Kylian Mbappé is demanding €253 million from PSG.
This includes unpaid salaries, bonuses (including €36.6 million), various indemnities, damages, and claims tied to the requalification of his contract.
– PSG is countering with a €440 million demand against Mbappé.
The club justifies this amount through various alleged financial losses, including €180 million in “loss of opportunity” related to the failed Al Hilal transfer in summer 2023.
Today, the situation has turned into an XXL showdown. Mbappé claims he was wronged and wants a historic payout. PSG cries betrayal and seeks major compensation. Between accusations, flying millions, and unprecedented tension, the Mbappé–PSG conflict has become a full-blown legal soap opera… with an ending that promises to be as spectacular as it is unpredictable.
