Kylian Mbappé's legal action against PSG for unpaid wages, amounting to €55.4 million, has taken a new turn. His lawyer, Delphine Verheyden, seeks to involve UEFA in the conflict.
UEFA regulations require clubs participating in European competitions to be free from debt towards their employees. Article 82 specifies that clubs must not have any outstanding payments to their personnel by certain deadlines (July 15th, October 15th, and January 15th). Failure to comply can result in sanctions.
Mbappé's lawyer has contacted the FFF to inform UEFA about PSG's outstanding debt, potentially jeopardizing their Champions League participation in the 2025-2026 season. While PSG has reportedly declared the debt to UEFA, the organization typically waits for legal processes to conclude before acting.
