Paris Saint-Germain have decided not to appeal a French court ruling ordering the club to pay nearly €61 million to former striker Kylian Mbappé in unpaid wages and bonuses.
The decision effectively brings an end to a long-running legal dispute between the French champions and their former star forward.
The conflict dates back to Mbappé’s refusal to renew his contract with PSG, which expired in the summer of 2024.
The French international subsequently joined Real Madrid on a free transfer during the following summer window.
Mbappé filed a legal complaint seeking €55 million in outstanding salaries and bonuses related to his final season in Paris.
According to French newspaper L'Équipe, PSG’s decision not to challenge the verdict represents more than a financial settlement, it signals the official closure of one of the most contentious chapters in the club’s modern history.
In December 2025, a Paris labor court ordered PSG to pay €60.9 million to Mbappé. The amount includes: €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses, and Approximately €5.9 million in accrued holiday pay and interest
Although the club had the legal right to appeal, reports indicate that PSG’s management chose to avoid prolonging the dispute, particularly as the ruling required immediate payment even in the event of an appeal.
The settlement draws a definitive line under a high-profile saga that dominated headlines following Mbappé’s departure, allowing both the player and the club to move forward after a turbulent split.
