French League Dismisses Mbappe's Complaint Against PSG

The Disciplinary Committee of the French Professional Football League (LFP) has declined to rule on Kylian Mbappe's complaint against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), in which he sought €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses. The committee determined that it lacks the jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter, as PSG has already initiated legal proceedings in the Paris courts.

Mbappe, who transferred to Real Madrid earlier this year, filed his complaint with the LFP's legal committee on September 11, followed by an appeal to the joint appeals committee on October 25. He claimed that PSG owed him substantial sums, including his salary for the final three months of his contract and various bonuses.

PSG contested these claims, asserting that the contract had been legally amended by mutual agreement in August 2023 for the 2023-2024 season. The club stated, "This amendment was confirmed multiple times by the player, notably in January 2024, before he decided to withdraw from all commitments after the season ended."

Given the ongoing legal proceedings initiated by PSG in the Paris courts, the LFP's Disciplinary Committee concluded that it does not have the authority to issue a ruling in favor of either party. The league emphasized its lack of competence to adjudicate the dispute under these circumstances.

PSG expressed its readiness to fully present its case in the appropriate legal forum, stating, "If the player continues to breach his commitments and pursue this dispute in another court, the club is prepared to comprehensively explain the situation in the competent court."
