Kylian Mbappé disputes Paris Saint-Germain's claim of having paid the full 60.9 million euros owed following a labor court ruling in late 2025. The club insists all amounts have been settled, noting social security contributions. This row stems from Mbappé's departure to Real Madrid in 2024.
The dispute between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain continues despite a Paris labor court ruling on December 16, 2025. The decision ordered the club to pay 60.9 million euros to its former player for unpaid wages and bonuses from 2017 to 2024. Mbappé, captain of the French national team, secured provisional enforcement, prompting an initial payment of 55 million euros from PSG before a bailiff demanded the remainder.
L'Équipe reports that the club has only settled 4 of the remaining 6 million euros, leaving a 2-million-euro shortfall. Mbappé's lawyers are awaiting full settlement. PSG expresses surprise: “The entirety of the sums due to Kylian Mbappé have been paid by the club, which is astonished that the player and his entourage are unaware that employees pay social security contributions on their salaries,” the club stated in a response to Le Figaro. PSG believes it has paid in full, hinting at a possible mix-up between gross and net amounts.
This legal battle follows multiple sanctions against PSG by the LFP. At the November 17, 2025 hearing, both sides claimed over 700 million euros combined. Mbappé, the club's all-time top scorer, left for Real Madrid at the end of his contract in 2024. Additionally, the club must publish the full judgment on its website for a month, an obligation it plans to fulfill soon, though it hopes Mbappé will waive it.
