Real Madrid star claims unpaid wages and mistreatment, reigniting bitter feud with former club
Kylian Mbappé has launched a stunning legal attack against Paris Saint-Germain, accusing the French giants of “moral harassment” during his final months at the club. The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed Thursday that the Real Madrid forward has filed a complaint, alleging PSG owes him €55 million ($61 million) in unpaid wages and subjected him to unfair treatment after he refused to extend his contract.
The 25-year-old superstar, who left PSG last summer after a record-breaking 256-goal stint, claims he was deliberately isolated—a practice known in France as “lofting”—when the club banished him from first-team training in 2023. The move came after Mbappé shocked PSG by rejecting a contract extension, effectively signaling his intent to leave on a free transfer.
Tensions had been simmering for years. Despite being handed the most lucrative deal in PSG history in 2022, Mbappé reportedly grew disillusioned after the club failed to deliver on promises to strengthen the squad. His frustration boiled over when PSG presented him to fans with a jersey displaying “2025,” even though his contract only ran until 2024 with an optional extra year—an option he ultimately refused.
The fallout was brutal. PSG excluded him from their 2023 preseason tour and briefly sidelined him at the start of the Ligue 1 campaign, pressuring him to accept a €300 million ($351 million) move to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal. Mbappé refused, and after tense negotiations, he was reintegrated—but the damage was done.
Now, fresh off winning the Champions League with Real Madrid, Mbappé is seeking justice. His legal team signaled their intent back in April, citing “harassment” over his treatment. Meanwhile, PSG—who finally lifted the Champions League trophy without him this season—must now face a high-stakes legal battle with their former golden boy.
The case reignites one of football’s most dramatic sagas, pitting a global icon against the club that once built its future around him. As the dispute heads to court, neither side appears willing to back down.
