PSG to pay millions to Real Madrid star before Flamengo tie | OneFootball

What happened to PSG (FRA) before the final against Flamengo?

PSG (FRA) is preparing to face Flamengo this Wednesday (17th), in the Club World Cup final. However, before the big match, the French team was sentenced by the Paris Labor Court in the case against Kylian Mbappé.

According to information from the newspaper ‘RMC Sport’, PSG will have to pay 55 million euros (about R$ 354 million) to Mbappé, plus accumulated vacation pay, totaling more than 61 million euros (R$ 392.4 million). It is worth noting that the payment must be made immediately.

Why did Mbappé file a lawsuit against PSG?

Mbappé took legal action against PSG after not receiving the last three months of salary and the signing bonus from his latest contract with the team. On the other hand, the club withheld the payments, claiming that the player did not keep his word.

This is because, according to PSG, Mbappé verbally committed to president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, in August 2023, to ‘forgive’ the amounts he was supposed to receive. In addition, the French team also sued the player and demanded 440 million euros (R$ 2.8 billion), but was unsuccessful.

How is PSG arriving for the match against Flamengo?

PSG secured a direct spot in the Intercontinental final after winning the Champions League in the 2024/25 season. On that occasion, Luis Enrique’s team thrashed Inter Milan (ITA) 5-0 in May.

Furthermore, at the moment, PSG is in second place in the French Championship, with 36 points. In the Champions League, Flamengo’s opponent is in third place, with 13 points.
