Mbappé’s PSG Saga: The French Star’s £80m Lawsuit Looms
Kylian Mbappé’s high-profile departure from Paris Saint-Germain has taken a dramatic turn, with the French superstar’s mother, Fayza Lamari, revealing that her son is prepared to sue the Ligue 1 champions if they refuse to pay him the £80m he is owed.
According to sources, PSG have yet to cough up the cash for a bonus plus two months’ wages, which Mbappé is entitled to following his contract expiration in June. The 25-year-old forward has since joined Real Madrid on a five-year deal, but the dispute has left a sour taste in the mouth.
Lamari spoke candidly about the situation, likening it to a divorce. "Sometimes, when you separate, you have to decide who gets the TV, who gets the furniture or the car… That’s where we are," she said. "I hope that all this does not tarnish everything we have been through, that we do not leave it like this."
Mbappé’s representatives are reportedly considering legal action if PSG fail to meet their obligations. The French giants are said to be trying to recoup the money by citing the agreement Mbappé made with them back in August, which would see him forfeit his wages in the event of a departure.
The drama surrounding Mbappé’s exit has been ongoing for months, with the player’s desire to leave PSG dating back to his failed attempt to join Real Madrid two years ago. Lamari revealed that her son had always been open about his desire to play for Los Blancos, and that his decision to stay at PSG was a one-off.
"Kylian has never lied," she said. "He always told the PSG president that one day he would go to Real Madrid. Of course, when that happens, it’s complicated. But apart from Madrid, I would never have left Paris."
Mbappé’s departure has left PSG fans reeling, but Lamari believes that her son’s decision to leave was the right one. "When you were born in Paris and grew up in Bondy, playing in the Parc des Princes is quite an event," she said. "Kylian has never lied. He always told the PSG president that one day he would go to Real Madrid. Of course, when that happens, it’s complicated. But apart from Madrid, I would never have left Paris."
As Mbappé looks to put the controversy behind him and focus on his new chapter at Real Madrid, his mother is urging fans to remember the good times. "It hasn’t been easy, but there are no regrets, just great emotions. It has been very, very difficult for Kylian, that’s clear."
