SHOCKING NEWS: Coming Live From Fabrizio Romano, Mbappe Move To Real Madrid Now In Doubts As PSG And The France International In €80m Bitter War With Club

Kylian Mbappe’s Contentious Departure from PSG Amid €80 Million Dispute

Kylian Mbappe’s impending departure from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is marred by controversy, as the Ligue 1 champions reportedly owe him €80 million. This financial dispute has exacerbated tensions between Mbappe and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who is furious over Mbappe’s decision to leave for free at the end of his contract in June. Al-Khelaifi’s frustration is heightened by what he perceives as Mbappe’s broken promise not to exit without a transfer fee, especially as Mbappe is set to join Real Madrid—a club whose president, Florentino Perez, shares a fraught relationship with Al-Khelaifi.

According to L’Equipe, Real Madrid is unwilling to pay PSG for a player who will soon be available on a free transfer, a stance that has infuriated Al-Khelaifi. This revelation has led to significant tension and erratic reactions from the PSG president since learning in the spring that Mbappe would not renew his contract.

As a consequence, Mbappe’s playing time was curtailed, with him participating fully in only 11 of PSG’s last 21 matches of the season. Moreover, PSG allegedly withheld his April salary and a scheduled bonus from February, effectively saving the club €80 million according to sources close to the situation.

The crux of the financial dispute centers on a promise Mbappe made last summer, agreeing to forgo his loyalty bonus if he decided to leave PSG. The club believes this justifies their actions, though Mbappe is distancing himself from the conflict to focus on Euro 2024 preparations. His legal team is currently negotiating with PSG to resolve the issue.

Regarding Mbappe’s future, the timing of his move to Real Madrid remains uncertain but is expected to be announced shortly after the Champions League final and before the start of Euro 2024.
