THE BIGGER PICTURE
Mbappe's complaint outlined how he was placed on the sidelines over a disagreement regarding a contract extension. In 2022, PSG announced Mbappe had signed a contract until 2025, but in reality he had agreed to a two-year deal with an option to extend further. In 2023, the club pushed him to trigger the option to prevent him leaving for free the following year by dropping him from the squad.
Mbappe, who then left for Madrid in a free transfer in 2024, has accused PSG of moral harassment and attempted extortion.
