Thomas Tuchel said dryly when he finished as PSG coach: “As a coach in Paris, you have to deal with the families of the players”. The Mbappé family is known for going verbally and hard to protect the interests of their sons, especially golden boy Kylian. The PSG management had to go to extreme lengths to persuade Mbappé and his agent mom not to go to Real Madrid. The twenty-something-year-old stayed, but charged extremely to sign the extension. As it turned out, there were two different interpretations of the contract text. Since 2023, Paris Saint-Germain and the club’s Mbappé have been in conflict over a huge payout PSG believe they had the right to deny the French national team captain. Now it has been decided.
Not even a bunch of the market’s best lawyers have been able to give PSG victory.

PSG have on Tuesday been ordered by a French court to pay Kylian Mbappé 60 million euros. The court ruled that PSG had failed to pay Mbappé three months’ salary as well as some bonuses stipulated in his employment contract.
