Mbappe, PSG to meet in front of the Appeals Commission over €55 million payment dispute | OneFootball

PSG and Kylian Mbappe have been involved in a public dispute for months now over payment of a €55 million fee to the player.

Mbappe insists that his former employers owe him the aforementioned sum for the salary delays over the past seven years and an ethics bonus.

PSG, meanwhile, stated that the player agreed to give up the payment when he left the club on a free transfer to join Real Madrid earlier this year and that they face no such obligation.

PSG appealed that decision as they were firm that the player himself forfeited the right to claim that fortune with his move to Spain.

Mundo Deportivo now bring to light that the Joint Appeals Commission of the French Professional Football League will hear both sides on October 15th in what will be the second round of hearings.

The Real Madrid star will be optimistic of his chances given that the first verdict his way but it remains to be seen how the PSG representatives present their case.

Nevertheless, Mbappe will cross paths with his former employers once more next month, both in a bid for justice and hope that a decision can be reached under the new jury.

The outcome of next month’s hearing will not be binding in any way as further appeals may be filed in higher courts including the Higher Appeals Commission next, followed by the Olympic Committee.
