Kylian Mbappe forewarned a court battle against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Global sports media ESPN reported on the 19th (Korea time) 'Mbappe is preparing to sue PSG for unpaid wages'

ESPN reported that `Mbappe's mother, Faiza Lamari, is ready to sue PSG if it doesn't pay us the money it owes us. According to the news, PSG did not pay Mbappe a bonus of 80 million euros (about 120 billion won) and a two-month wage of 20 million euros (about 30 billion won)."

Mbappe recently joined Real from Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain. As many as 85,000 fans were reportedly present at the stadium to see Mbappe. Mbappe made no secret of his joy. With his appearance, he interacted with his fans, shouting "Hala Madrid".

There were many twists and turns before Mbappe wore a Real Madrid uniform. At the time of 2022, Real had been close to signing Mbappe. However, Mbappe chose to stay due to the strong dissuasion of then-President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Since then, Mbappe has once again chosen to transfer to Real ahead of the 2024-2025 season, and PSG has been forced to send Mbappe because he is about to expire his contract.

However, there was a problem in this process. PSG has declared that it will not pay the bonuses and unpaid wages promised to Mbappe.

PSG is in the position that Mbappe promised to verbally write off the bonus. The club said the relationship between the two sides had deteriorated and the details could not be left in writing. After the transfer decision, PSG, which was not able to earn any transfer fee income through Mbappe, decided not to pay bonuses, and Mbappe's wages were not paid for about two months. In the end, the situation is not resolved, and now the club and the player are expected to fight in court over whether the money is paid or not.

ESPN reported that when asked if Mbappe was ready to take PSG to court, Lamari said if he had no choice, of course he would. Lamari says "No one can reveal what happened at the time. In the past two years, Chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi and Mbappe have always met only two people, he said.

We then believe that the PSG will quickly normalize the situation. It's like a divorce, and it's about deciding who will take the TV, who will take the furniture, or the car. I hope everything will not get dirty,' he said, adding that he wanted the situation to calm down quickly.

The relationship between PSG and Mbappe, which was expected to end with Mbappe's transfer to Real, is now heading to court. If a quick resolution is not achieved, the breakup is expected to be possible only after blushing in court.
