The French league's legal commission has ordered Paris Saint-Germain to pay Kylian Mbappé the €55 million in unpaid wages. 

The unpaid wages date back for the months of April, May and June 2024. 

This comes as the France superstar rejected a mediation offer by the commission in his dispute with his former club. 

PSG officials and Mbappé's representatives met in Paris on Wednesday after Mbappé asked the commission to get involved following failed talks with the club. 

Mbappe demanded salaries for the three months including the last third of a loyalty bonus.

However, PSG has declined to pay the wages seeking to appeal the order. 

"In light of the limitations of the commission's legal scope to take a complete decision on this matter, the matter must now be contested in another legal forum, to which Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to present all the facts over the coming months and year," the club said in a message to the AP.

PSG have argued that they do not owe money to Mbappe under an agreement when Mbappé was sidelined ahead of the 2023-24 season, following his decision not to prolong his contract with the club, with the player allegedly stipulating that he would relinquish bonuses over his reintegration into the team.

"As a matter of law and fact, the player has made clear, repeated public and private commitments that must be respected, having been afforded unprecedented benefits by the club over seven years in Paris," PSG said after the league's announcement. 

"And the club looks forward to these being upheld in the proper forum, if the player seeks to pursue this incomprehensibly reputationally damaging matter further, in due course."

Mbappé's relationship with PSG ended amid deep tensions during his final season at the club.

PSG felt let down by Mbappé after offering him the most lucrative contract in the club's history when he signed a new contract in 2022.

Mbappe made a free transfer move to Real Madrid in the summer Window.
