Kylian Mbappe has reportedly issued formal notice to Paris Saint-Germain regarding £85 million in unpaid funds he believes are owed to him following his departure from the club.
The France captain joined Real Madrid on a stunning free transfer at the end of the season after letting his contract with the Parisian side expire, the club where he rose to elite status.
Although Mbappe and PSG parted ways amicably, the 25-year-old is still awaiting part of his bonus and wages as per their agreement.
Last summer, Mbappe and the club agreed that if he left on a free transfer, he would waive some of his bonus and salary. However, the player now demands the owed money and has given the club a final notice, according to French media outlet L’Equipe.

PSG and the player have both previously publicly stated there is an agreement in place that respects the huge investment the club have put into Mbappe’s development since he joined in a £166m transfer from Monaco in 2017.
A final settlement number has been under negotiation by the two involved parties and talks are understood to have progressed positively, with Mbappe and this season’s Champions League semi-finalists still on good terms.
It has now been reported in the French media that PSG owe the player close to £85m in unpaid wages and a bonus payment relating to his time at the Ligue 1 club.

Meanwhile, Mbappe is already preparing for life in Madrid, having reportedly bought a £15m mega-mansion in the Spanish capital.
However, he is expected to be given an extended break from pre-season duty should France win the ongoing European Championship.
The Les Blues star has endured an eventful campaign so far after suffering a broken nose in France’s opening Euro 2024 clash against Austria.
He was then named on the bench for Friday’s group game against the Netherlands that ended goalless with Mbappe not featuring.
