The long-running dispute began in July 2023, when Mbappe turned down the move to the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n
Mbappe believes he was sidelined by the French champions for that decision and for refusing to sign a contract extension.<\/p>\n
He was not invited to take part in PSG’s pre-season tour of Asia and missed their first match of the season before being reinstated to the side.<\/p>\n
PSG claim this followed the player’s agreement to forgo some of his end-of-contract payments to protect the club’s financial health.<\/p>\n
However, Mbappe’s representatives have dismissed this as “fantasy”, with the player still waiting for salary and bonus payments. <\/p>\n
Following Monday’s hearing, PSG said they were seeking “recognition of the significant damages suffered by the club” for what they called Mbappe’s “serious breaches of his legally binding contractual commitments”.<\/p>\n
The club say Mbappe “acted disloyally by concealing for nearly eleven months, between July 2022 and June 2023, his decision not to extend his contract”.<\/p>\n
They also rejected any claim of “harassment or pressure” and said Mbappe “benefited from exceptional conditions for seven years at Paris St-Germain”.<\/p>\n
Mbappe was at PSG from 2017 to 2024, and scored 256 goals in 308 games, winning 15 trophies.<\/p>\n
The Real Madrid striker was initially claiming 55m euros (\u00a346.3m) in unpaid wages from the Ligue 1 champions in a dispute which went through French football’s governing bodies before reaching the courts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
