Kylian Mbappé ordered to pay PSG €60,000 in latest legal dispute

Kylian Mbappé has been ordered to pay Paris Saint-Germain €60,000 after a French court partially upheld the club’s claim in the long-running legal dispute between the France captain and his former employers.

The Paris Court of Appeal ruled that the compensation should cover financial losses suffered by PSG after the club’s funds were provisionally blocked for 45 days in 2025, according to L’Équipe.

The ruling adds another chapter to the increasingly complex relationship between Mbappé and the French champions following his departure from the club.

Dispute dates back to Mbappé’s PSG exit

The legal battle began in the summer of 2024 when Mbappé demanded €55.4m from PSG in unpaid wages and bonuses following his departure from the French capital.

As part of the proceedings, lawyers representing the France international secured a preliminary injunction that led to PSG’s accounts being frozen for the disputed amount.

Although the measure was subsequently lifted, the court found that the temporary restriction on PSG’s liquidity forced the club to obtain a line of credit to cover its operating expenses between 10 April and 25 May 2025.

That situation resulted in direct financial losses for the Paris club, leading to the €60,000 compensation order against Mbappé.

PSG denied further compensation

However, the court rejected PSG’s request for additional damages relating to alleged intangible and reputational harm caused by the dispute.

The latest ruling follows a separate decision by the labour court in 2025 ordering PSG to pay Mbappé €60.9m in outstanding wages.

PSG did not appeal that decision in February 2026, bringing another stage of the long-running legal dispute between the club and the France captain to a close.
