Mbappe Drops Extortion & Harassment Charges Against Ex-Club PSG
In a sudden turn of events, Kylian Mbappe, the star forward of Real Madrid, has dropped the criminal complaint of attempted extortion and moral harassment against his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, this move does not mean that the matter has been resolved completely, as Mbappe will continue to pursue the unpaid wages amounting to €55 million from the final three months of his PSG contract.
The news of Mbappe dropping the charges has created a stir in the world of football, especially with the FIFA Club World Cup just around the corner. The tournament is set to take place in Qatar from February 1 to 11, with PSG and Real Madrid both set to participate. The two clubs are scheduled to face each other in the semifinals, sparking concerns about the potential impact of the dropped charges on their upcoming clash.
Mbappe’s decision to drop the charges comes after a months-long dispute with PSG over his contract. The French international had signed a new deal with the club in 2021, but things took a turn when he decided to leave PSG for Real Madrid. The contract dispute arose when PSG claimed that Mbappe had given a verbal agreement that he wouldn’t exit the club for free. However, Mbappe’s representatives disputed this claim, stating that the agreement was never formalized.
The dropping of the charges is a significant development in the ongoing saga between Mbappe and PSG. The attempted extortion and moral harassment charges were filed by Mbappe’s representatives, alleging that PSG had engaged in illegal activities to prevent the forward from leaving the club. The charges were seen as a major blow to PSG’s reputation, and the club had been under intense pressure to resolve the matter.
Despite dropping the charges, Mbappe’s representatives have made it clear that the forward will continue to pursue the unpaid wages. The amount in question is €55 million, which is the value of the final three months of Mbappe’s PSG contract. The dispute arose when PSG refused to pay Mbappe the remaining wages, citing the verbal agreement that he wouldn’t exit the club for free.
PSG has been adamant that Mbappe’s departure was a breach of contract, and that the forward should not be entitled to the unpaid wages. The club has also threatened to take legal action against Mbappe and his representatives if they do not resolve the matter amicably.
The dropping of the charges has raised more questions than answers. Does this mean that Mbappe has finally put the matter behind him and is ready to move on? Or is this a tactical move to put pressure on PSG to resolve the unpaid wages?
One thing is certain – the FIFA Club World Cup is just around the corner, and the stage is set for a thrilling clash between PSG and Real Madrid. The dropped charges may not have put an end to the dispute, but they have certainly added a new layer of intrigue to the upcoming match.
As the world of football waits with bated breath for the tournament to begin, one thing is clear – Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid has sent shockwaves across the globe, and the drama surrounding his departure from PSG is far from over.
