Litige Mbappé-PSG : le club parisien décidé de ne pas faire appel de sa condamnation aux prud’hommes
Ordered on December 16, 2025, to pay nearly €61 million to Kylian Mbappé for unpaid wages and bonuses, PSG announced on Friday that it would not appeal.
The dispute between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé has reached a decisive stage. Ordered on December 16, 2025, by the Paris labor court to pay nearly 61 million euros to its former striker for unpaid wages, bonuses, and vacation pay related to the end of his contract in 2024, the Parisian club announced on Friday that it would not appeal this decision, bringing to a close one of the main aspects of a legal battle that has been ongoing for two and a half years.
“In a spirit of responsibility and to put a definitive end to a process that has dragged on for far too long, the club has chosen not to prolong this legal dispute. Paris Saint-Germain is now resolutely focused on the future, concentrating on its sporting project and collective success,” PSG stated in a press release. The player's representatives declined to comment when contacted. The club had one month from the date of notification of the judgment, around January 20, 2026, to appeal the decision.
Kylian Mbappé dismissed from several charges
The labor court had ordered the immediate payment of the sums owed, with provisional enforcement. PSG has since paid all the amounts due, including €5.9 million corresponding to outstanding vacation pay, paid this week following a bailiff's order. "Paris Saint-Germain has fulfilled all the obligations imposed on it under this decision, whether it be the publication of the judgment […] or the payment of the sums due," declared Renaud Semerdjian, the football club's lawyer.
The labor court's decision, however, rejected several of Kylian Mbappé's major claims, notably the reclassification of his fixed-term contracts as permanent contracts, which could have paved the way for an additional €263 million in compensation. PSG also emphasized that the player's accusations of psychological harassment, undeclared work, and breaches of contract were dismissed, which the club described as "completely unfounded allegations," asserting that it has "always acted in good faith and with integrity."
A new hearing is scheduled for PSG
The dispute is not entirely over, however. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday before the Paris Judicial Court, following proceedings initiated by PSG against a decision by the Professional Football League (LFP). In September 2024, the LFP's legal committee ordered the club to pay €55 million to the player, a decision upheld on internal appeal in October 2024 and challenged by PSG in civil court.
This conflict originated in the 2023-2024 season, when Kylian Mbappé, who had joined PSG in 2017, refused to extend his contract and was temporarily excluded from the first team. Reinstated after the first matchday of the season, he confirmed his departure in February 2024, exacerbating tensions with the club's management. The club's all-time leading scorer left Paris in the spring of 2024, amidst this financial dispute.
