Mbappé sets the record straight on his dispute with PSG

Kylian Mbappé, the 26-year-old striker of the French National Team, has now moved to Real Madrid following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain. However, not everything is settled between the player and the club where he spent 7 years. The French international is in a financial dispute with Paris over unpaid bonuses and salaries, while PSG believes an agreement was reached. Recently, his lawyers announced an offensive with several proceedings launched and PSG responded. This Wednesday in L’Equipe, the player spoke about this difficult situation.

Mbappé "I have nothing against PSG, I love this club, I have friends there."

"It's my right, it's labor law. Because of the procedure, it gave the impression that I wanted to harm PSG. I signed a work contract. I just wanted to get paid. I have nothing against PSG, I love this club, I have friends there. But it's the only way to get what I'm owed, something I earned with my own sweat. Whether you like it or not, it's still a job. But I already knew that I wasn't getting paid when I was at PSG. When the money doesn't come in, you notice. I could have made a scandal while I was there, but I thought it wasn't worth it.

Mbappé "If it could have been settled in an office, I walk out, I have my salary, this story would never have existed."

But when you see that you're not getting paid, at some point, you have to react. Only you quickly come across as the ex who is bitter... If it could have been settled in an office, I walk out, I have my salary, this story would never have existed."

Logically, Mbappé defends his position and the fact that he is claiming a sum that he believes he deserves. This is the main point of dispute, as PSG claims that an agreement was reached. We can't say much more, it's up to the courts to see this case through to a fair resolution. Until then, everyone will naturally defend their position.

We do note, however, that the striker continues his communication, full of affection for PSG and a rather victimized position. It's not his fault that all this is happening and it's unfair that his image is negative. We're used to it, it was the same with the poor results.
