Kylian Mbappé has dropped the legal charges of harassment against his former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
This is as stated by a person with knowledge of the situation and reported by the Associated Press.
The suit stems from an alleged treatment the French club subjected the current Real Madrid star to when he informed them of his intention to leave on a free transfer in June 2023 and would not be triggering the optional one-year extension in his deal.
Following this, it's reported that the club, on the other hand, sidelined him and placed him on “loft”—a group of sidelined players—during the 2023 pre-season.
This, Mbappé’s legal team contends, was a form of psychological pressure intended to coerce the French forward into triggering the one-year contract extension clause or sign a new contract.
While two judges had been assigned to investigate the situation, a person close to the France captain said on Tuesday that Mbappé has decided to drop the case due to his improved relationship with PSG president Nasser Al Khelaïfi over the past few weeks.
The person was not authorised to speak publicly in line with the practice of Mbappé's entourage.
But according to his entourage, relations between Mbappé and PSG president Nasser Al Khelaïfi have been improving for several weeks.Mbappé joined Real Madrid last summer on a free transfer after scoring a club record.
256 goals in seven years at PSG. He will face his former club in Wednesday's Club World Cup semifinal.
Mbappé's relationship with PSG ended amid deep tensions, and some fans booed him in his last home game at Parc des Princes.
PSG felt let down by Mbappé after offering him the most lucrative contract in club history when he signed a new contract in 2022.
A claim the club blatantly denies saying, club, Mbappé voluntarily gave up those earnings by choosing not to extend his stay.
This amount relates to the final months of his contract.
PSG aren't the only club accused of dumping players in an attempt to make them sign a new contract or accept an offer from elsewhere.
The Professional Footballers' Union filed a complaint back in January 2024 against French clubs for the same practice.
Earlier, PSG women’s team player Kheira Hamraoui sued PSG for similar treatment.
Meanwhile, PSG formally announced the end of the era between the club and Kylian Mbappé at the end of the 2023–24 season.
This was after Kylianpublicly announced on May 10, 2024, that he would not renew his contract.
In a heartfelt video, he confirmed, “It’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend, and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks.”
