Kylian Mbappé is a French national team player
Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé is in a legal tussle with his former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), seeking payment of €263 million over bonus-related issues.
Reports from France indicate that the player is claiming the money, which includes €55 million in unpaid wages from his former club during his stint there.
The case is said to stem from a contract dispute and alleged ill-treatment by club officials during a transfer row.

However, PSG strongly denies the reports, stating that the figure in question relates to compensation for the France captain’s failed €300 million move.
Following a tribunal hearing, PSG declared they were seeking, “recognition of the significant damages suffered by the club” due to what they described as Mbappé’s “serious breaches of his legally binding contractual commitments.”
The club further alleged that Mbappé “acted disloyally by concealing, for nearly eleven months between July 2022 and June 2023, his decision not to extend his contract.”
The court is expected to hear the case again for a final determination.
