Mbappé Files Harassment Complaint Against PSG

France captain Kylian Mbappé has filed a legal complaint against his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), alleging moral harassment, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed on Thursday.

This development comes as part of a broader dispute between Mbappé and PSG, with the striker also demanding €55 million (approximately $64.4 million) in unpaid wages and bonuses.

The harassment complaint centers on Mbappé’s treatment at the start of the 2023–24 season, when he was made to train separately from the first team—alongside players PSG intended to offload. He was also excluded from the club’s pre-season tour of Asia and missed the season opener before eventually being reinstated following talks with club officials.

Mbappé believes this treatment was a punitive response to his refusal to sign a contract extension, a tactic that has reportedly affected other players as well. The French players’ union had previously filed a complaint over similar practices.

The 26-year-old forward officially joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2024, ending a seven-season spell with PSG where he scored 256 goals in 308 appearances. Ironically, PSG went on to win the UEFA Champions League for the first time shortly after his departure.
