Lent.az reports, citing foreign media, that PSG is demanding 440 million euros from its former striker, while Mbappe is demanding 263 million euros from the club.

No specific date has been announced yet for the court's decision, but the process is expected to be quite difficult.
The dispute between Kilian Mbappe and PSG, unresolved since the summer of 2024, has been formalized with a hearing at the Paris Labor Court. The parties met face-to-face for the first time during long-standing contract and payment disputes.
PSG has demanded a record amount of compensation from its former striker, Mbappe. After the hearing, the club's lawyer, Renaud Semerdjian, announced that PSG is demanding a total of 440 million euros. The claims include damage to the club's image, concealment of the reasons for the contract, and loss of transfer opportunities resulting from Al-Hilal's €300 million offer, which Mbappe allegedly rejected. PSG claims that Mbappe broke his promise not to leave for free.
However, Mbappe's defenders deny PSG's claims and are demanding a total of 263 million euros from the club. The star player's lawyers have raised allegations of psychological pressure and mistreatment, claiming that his contract was unfairly extended indefinitely, and that wages and bonuses were not paid. Mbappe's compensation claim also includes 55 million euros in unpaid accounts receivable.
The total compensation disputed in court has reached 663 million euros. This figure is poised to go down in history as the biggest legal battle between a player and a club in football history. No specific date has been announced yet for the court's decision, but the process is expected to be quite difficult.
