The French FA has refused to intervene in the increasingly bitter dispute between Kylian Mbappé and his former club Paris St Germain.
The FFF has rejected PSG’s request to reconsider an order from the French league’s appeals commission to uphold a decision ordering the club to pay Mbappé €55 million in back pay.
Mbappe has demanded the figure which he says is made up of the final three months of his salary plus several bonuses. But Qatar-owned PSG argue that the 25-year-old had agreed to waive the sum in August 2023.
The appeals commission ruled in favour of Mbappé but PSG appealed. The parties were heard again on October 15 and the verdict remained unchanged.
The federation said on Friday its legal department found “the request for a federal evocation of the case submitted to it did not meet the required conditions.”
Mbappé joined real Madrid in the summer on a free transfer after scoring a record 256 goals over seven years at PSG.
The French champions argued that when Mbappé was sidelined before the 2023-24 season – following his decision not to extend his contract – there was a verbal agreement with him opting to relinquish bonuses in order to return to the team.
PSG felt let down by Mbappé after offering him the most lucrative contract in club history when he signed his last contract in 2022.
