Real Madrid ace wins first round of battle against former club in €55 million salary dispute | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappe’s ongoing dispute with his former club Paris Saint-Germain has taken center stage during the international break.

The Frenchman, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, is demanding €55 million from his former employers PSG as unpaid dues.

The French giants, though, claim that there were no unpaid dues left as Mbappe had opted to forego the salary.

Mbappe wins first round of legal battle vs PSG

The two parties have gone to LFP’s legal committee over this matter, and to that end, it appears Mbappe has secured an early win in this battle.

As reported by Le Parisien, Mbappe has won the first round of the legal battle against PSG, as the committee has ruled in favour of the player.

Mbappe had a rather emphatic victory, with the legal committee releasing a judgement in his favour on Thursday after initially suggesting mediation between the two parties.

The court simply noted ‘the absence of coalition between the two parties’ whilst ordering PSG to pay the demanded salary to Mbappe within eight days.

This is, of course, not the final outcome of the legal battle and there is a chance PSG might come up with a rebuttal and perhaps even appeal against the verdict.

The coming days, to that end, could prove to be critical as PSG decide their next step.

Mbappe, meanwhile, will look to shift focus back to football, with Real Madrid slated to resume their campaign this weekend, as they take on Real Sociedad.
