Tuesday’s decision by the Paris Labour Court marks a major milestone in a protracted legal battle since Mbappe’s departure from the capital.
PSG have been ordered to transfer the equivalent of the salaries and bonuses which went unpaid at the end of the 2023-24 season. The court also rejected Mbappe’s other claims, as well as PSG’s counter-claims.
On the crux of the contention, from which the legal proceedings started, though, the court has ruled in favour of the forward.
Mbappe notably looked to legally change his PSG deal to an open-ended contract and claimed ill-treatment on the part of the club, claiming 260m euros in total.
The French champions, meanwhile, argued that Mbappe had verbally agreed to forgo certain bonuses ahead of his final season at the club, after which he left on a free transfer to Real Madrid.
A counter-claim of 440m euros was notably based on a prospective move to Saudi Arabia which fell through.
PSG have announced that they will pay the sum as ordered. While leaving the door open to appeals, they have indicated a willingness to ultimately move on from the protracted legal proceedings, while pointing to their on-pitch success without the France captain.
