Can’t imagine spitting in my hand’ – Kylian Mbappe reveals true feelings on PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi amid €55m unpaid wage.

In a recent press conference, Kylian Mbappé spoke about his ongoing €55 million wage dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and shared his views on the club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The French forward, who moved to Real Madrid last summer, expressed disappointment over the unresolved financial issues and the breakdown of his relationship with Al-Khelaifi. The conflict revolves around unpaid wages and bonuses amounting to €55 million, which Mbappé claims PSG still owes him. Reports indicate that the dispute includes three months of unpaid salary and the final part of a loyalty bonus. Seeking resolution, Mbappé approached the French football league’s (LFP) legal commission, which ruled in his favor, ordering PSG to pay the outstanding amount. Despite this decision, PSG has refused to comply, prompting Mbappé to consider further legal measures. During the press conference, Mbappé voiced his frustration with PSG’s handling of the matter, stating, “I never imagined that my time at PSG would end under such circumstances. I fulfilled my contractual obligations and expected the club to do the same.” He stressed that his departure was handled professionally and transparently, and he had hoped for a smooth resolution to any remaining financial matters. Speaking about his relationship with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Mbappé commented, “I can’t imagine spitting in my hand and shaking another’s. Trust and respect are fundamental, and once broken, they’re hard to restore.” This statement underscores a deep sense of betrayal and highlights the fractured relationship between the player and the club’s leadership. PSG insists they do not owe the contested amount, arguing that a verbal agreement existed in which Mbappé supposedly agreed to forgo certain bonuses upon his departure. The club plans to challenge the LFP’s ruling through other legal channels, asserting that the matter extends beyond the commission’s authority. This ongoing dispute has overshadowed what was once a highly celebrated partnership between Mbappé and PSG. As legal proceedings continue, the football world watches closely, hoping for a resolution that upholds contractual commitments and restores professionalism between both sides.
