This morning, representatives of the Real Madrid striker and the Parisian club met to settle and present their respective allegations.

PSG argued that Mbappé had agreed to forgive €55m of wages and bonuses, before being reinstated with the rest of his teammates on August 12, 2023.

The player's lawyers, for their part, claimed various unpaid amounts, arguing that the verbal commitment was not binding as nothing was put in writing. PSG, meanwhile, recalls the words uttered by Mbappe on January 3, after the French Super Cup against Toulouse, stating that "whatever happened, all parties were protected."

The LFP's Legal Committee has invited PSG and Mbappé to come to an agreement, with the primary objective of not taking the case to court so that it does not have a long legal process.
