Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappe’s relationship has yet again taken the spotlight after the French champions have once again denied paying the star a whopping amount of €55mn ($60mn) despite an order from the French Football Federation (FFF) on Friday (Oct 25).

According to the order, PSG are obliged to pay the amount. However, PSG have claimed that Mbappe waived the amount in 2023.

This comes after the French league appeals committee attempted to mediate in the increasingly bitter row.

Mbappe had a highly successful spell at PSG between 2017 and 2024, however, the player’s links to Real Madrid often irritated the club's management.

However, it was confirmed at the start of 2024 that Mbappe will finally leave PSG to join Real Madrid.

During his final six months at the club, the French star was hardly given any importance while his salary for the last few months was frozen.

This resulted in a cold war between the player and the club with him being frozen out at one stage.

But Qatar-owned PSG argue that the 25-year-old had agreed to waive the sum in August 2023.

With PSG flatly refusing to abide by the league's order to pay their former player the money, the case looks set to drag on.

Mbappe’s camp keeps silence
On the other hand, Mbappe’s camp has yet to comment on the claims and are ready to take all the necessary legal actions.

The player’s sole focus is now on the weekend’s El Classico against Barcelona with both teams bidding to win La Liga.

The weekend’s clash will be Mbappe’s first taste of the fixture during his first season.

As things stand, only three points separate Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.

Interestingly, even if Real beat Barcelona the latter’s superior goal difference will see them end the week at the top of the table.
