Prior to Kylian Mbappé’s potential appeal to the Conseil des Prud’hommes, PSG had two final recourses before the soccer authorities: a request for the dispute to be evoked before the FFF executive committee, followed by an appeal to an administrative court with a view to conciliation before the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF).

The application to the FFF was submitted last week. It “is currently being processed.and could potentially be refused, said the above-mentioned source. A source close to the club’s management had recently explained to theAFP that PSG would use these recourses “as a matter of principle”instead expecting the case to go before the industrial tribunal in a lengthy procedure.

The dispute has its origins in the status of an agreement reached in August 2023 between the striker and the club’s management. At the time, the French national team captain was sidelined for refusing to extend his contract with PSG. This extension would have guaranteed the club a transfer fee, whereas Mbappé finally signed a free contract with Real Madrid this summer.

In this agreement, the player agreed to forgo 55 million in various bonuses if he were to leave free at the end of the season. However, the validity of this agreement, which Mbappé himself spoke about publicly to journalists in January, is disputed by the star’s camp.
