Mbappe Drops Extortion & Harassment Charges Against Ex-Club PSG
In a surprising turn of events, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has dropped the criminal complaint of attempted extortion and moral harassment against his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, the French superstar will continue to pursue the unpaid wages amounting to €55 million from the final three months of his PSG contract.
Mbappe’s decision to drop the charges comes as a shock, especially considering the high-profile nature of the case. The 23-year-old had accused PSG of attempting to extort him into staying with the club, offering him a contract extension in exchange for not leaving for free. Mbappe had also claimed that he had been subjected to moral harassment by the club’s management.
However, PSG has maintained that Mbappe had given a verbal agreement that he wouldn’t exit the club for free, and had even signed a contract extension in principle. The club has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has insisted that Mbappe’s departure was a result of his own decision.
The controversy surrounding Mbappe’s departure from PSG has been ongoing for months, with both parties trading accusations and allegations. The situation has taken a dramatic turn with Mbappe’s decision to drop the charges, which has left many wondering what this means for the future of the case.
In a statement released by his representatives, Mbappe confirmed that he would no longer be pursuing the criminal complaint against PSG. However, he emphasized that he would continue to fight for the unpaid wages that are owed to him.
“My lawyers and I have decided to withdraw the criminal complaint against Paris Saint-Germain,” the statement read. “However, we will continue to pursue the unpaid wages that are owed to me. The matter is now in the hands of the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber, and we will await their decision.”
PSG has welcomed Mbappe’s decision to drop the charges, with the club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, releasing a statement congratulating Mbappe on his decision.
“We welcome the decision of Kylian Mbappe to withdraw the criminal complaint against Paris Saint-Germain,” the statement read. “We hope that this decision will allow us to put this matter behind us and focus on the future. We are committed to working with Kylian and his representatives to resolve the outstanding issues between us.”
The FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber will now take up the case, and a decision is expected in the coming weeks. The outcome of the case will have significant implications for both Mbappe and PSG, with the French superstar’s future at Real Madrid hanging in the balance.
Despite the drama surrounding his departure from PSG, Mbappe has continued to excel on the pitch, scoring crucial goals for Real Madrid and helping the team to win several titles. His future at the club is uncertain, but it is clear that he will continue to be one of the most feared strikers in the world for years to come.
In conclusion, Mbappe’s decision to drop the charges against PSG is a significant development in the ongoing saga. While the case is now resolved, the controversy surrounding Mbappe’s departure from PSG is unlikely to go away anytime soon. The outcome of the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber’s decision will have significant implications for both parties, and will likely shape the future of the case.
