Kylian Mbappe has reportedly given Paris Saint-Germain formal notice over £85m in unpaid finances that he believes is owed to him following his departure from the club.
The France captain joined Real Madrid on a stunning free transfer at the end of the season after running down his contract at the Parisian side who had overseen his rise to elite level.
Mbappe and the club parted ways on good terms, but the 25-year-old is still waiting on part of his bonus and wage to be paid to him as part of an agreement with PSG.
The French striker and the club came to an agreement last summer that means should the former World Cup winner leave on a free transfer then he waive some of his bonus and salary.
But the player is now wanting the money owed to him paid and has given the club a final notice, as claimed by French media outlet L’Equipe.

PSG and the player have both previously publicly stated there is an agreement in place that respects the huge investment the club have put into Mbappe’s development since he joined in a £166m transfer from Monaco in 2017.
A final settlement number has been under negotiation by the two involved parties and talks are understood to have progressed positively, with Mbappe and this season’s Champions League semi-finalists still on good terms.
It has now been reported in the French media that PSG owe the player close to £85m in unpaid wages and a bonus payment relating to his time at the Ligue 1 club.

Meanwhile, Mbappe is already preparing for life in Madrid, having reportedly bought a £15m mega-mansion in the Spanish capital.
However, he is expected to be given an extended break from pre-season duty should France win the ongoing European Championship.
The Les Blues star has endured an eventful campaign so far after suffering a broken nose in France’s opening Euro 2024 clash against Austria.
He was then named on the bench for Friday’s group game against the Netherlands that ended goalless with Mbappe not featuring.
