PSG ready to try 'legal forum' after Mbappé refuses mediation in wage dispute
Footballer Kylian Mbappé's former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) said Thursday that a dispute over €55 million in what the star player says are unpaid wages could now be settled in a “legal forum”. Mbappé rejected a mediation process proposed by the French football league’s governing body to settle the matter.
Paris Saint-Germain are ready to face Kylian Mbappé in a “legal forum” after the France forward refused an offer from the French football league’s governing body (LFP) to mediate on a wage dispute, the Ligue 1 club said on Thursday.
While PSG welcomed the LFP’s offer to mediate on Wednesday, the offer was refused by the France skipper.
French media reported the 25-year-old, who had a fallout with the club last year after refusing to sign a contract extension, is seeking around €55 million ($60.73 million).
The Commission have suggested that Mbappé either go to an employment tribunal or settle the matter with the club where he spent seven seasons and became their all-time top scorer before making the switch to Real Madrid in June.
“This mediation process has been refused by the player, contrary to the Commission’s recommendation.
