[Saba Sports News] Since French star Kylian Mbappe transferred to La Liga club Real Madrid, he has attended a meeting with Paris Saint-Germain at the French Ligue 1 Complaints Committee, where he demanded the payment of a post-tax bonus of €55 million that he had previously verbally agreed to forgo. This incident has attracted widespread attention. It is reported that after the legal committee of the French Professional Football League (LFP) proposed a mediation plan, Mbappe rejected it. Mbappe’s team believes that Paris has never fulfilled all its commitments. Furthermore, the committee’s mediation proposal may not have met Mbappe’s demands. Mbappe is seeking the €55 million bonus and salary, while the mediation proposal may not have explicitly supported this request. After rejecting mediation, Mbappe can take the matter to court, although it may take two years or longer to resolve. However, he may believe that pursuing legal action could more effectively protect his rights.
