“Ethical bonus” and salaries
Media: Kylian Mbappé demands 55 million euros from former club PSG
He won six championships with Paris St. Germain and is the record goalscorer. His move to Real Madrid, however, has angered the club's management. Now both sides are arguing over a lot of money. The club is said to owe world star Mbappé an “ethical bonus”, among other things.
A good two months after his departure, French football star Kylian Mbappé is apparently in a legal dispute with his former club Paris Saint-Germain. As the French newspaper “Le Monde” reports, the dispute concerns an outstanding sum of almost 55 million euros. Because of this sum, Mbappé is said to have already contacted the legal commission of the French league association LFP and the European football union UEFA via his management.
The millions of euros demanded are apparently for the outstanding monthly salaries for April, May and June, the last third of a bonus payment for Mbappé's previous contract extension and an “ethical bonus” for the last months of the contract. In mid-June, Mbappé's side is said to have already unsuccessfully demanded payment from the club.
The 2018 world champion moved to Champions League winners Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer after seven years in the PSG jersey. There had already been a dispute between the two sides a year ago after Mbappé announced that he would not renew his expiring contract. As a result, the club's record goalscorer was temporarily excluded from team training.
Mbappé, who once came from AS Monaco for 160 million euros, won six championships and the cup four times with PSG. But the hoped-for Champions League win did not materialize. His league debut with the Royals was rather unspectacular at the weekend. The LaLiga defending champions only managed a modest 1:1 draw with RCD Mallorca. The “new Galaktikos” are still waiting for their first win after a league game.
