Paris Saint-Germain said on Wednesday that the French football league (LFP) has volunteered to mediate the issue between the striker and the club regarding unpaid pay and incentives.
According to Mbappe, PSG owes him 55 million euros ($60.6 million), which the 25-year-old agreed to waive in August 2023.
The captain of France has asked for the whole, which comprises his three months of pay that are left, his signing bonus that he was hoping to get in February, and a “ethical bonus” for the same period.
Lawyers representing the two parties met early on Wednesday after Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid this summer, had referred his case to the LFP’s legal committee.
The league then made the proposition to mediate.
“Paris Saint-Germain is very pleased with today’s two-hour hearing before the commission,” PSG said.
“The club recalled that the player has made clear repeated public and private commitments that must be respected, having been afforded unprecedented benefits by the Club over seven fantastic years in Paris.
“In the light of the club’s oral and documented arguments, the commission insisted on mediation between the parties, which Paris Saint-Germain has been seeking for many months.
“The commission has now invited the player to consider the mediation process,” they added.
