Mbappe and PSG had been advised to attempt mediation to end their current dispute regarding unpaid wages by an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-s-war-psg-drags-lfp-complaints-committee-deliver-verdict-unpaid-wages-case/blt560ae9876d72a990#cs5a4f7f1cc158abe1" target="_blank">LFP complaints committee</a>. PSG confirmed they were "very pleased" with the verdict, but the proposal has been rejected straightaway by the France international. The saga now looks set to be resolved in a courtroom.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mbappe is demanding a total of €55 million ($60.6m)&nbsp;in unpaid wages from PSG. The figure equates to three months wages, a signing bonus and an "ethical bonus." Yet the Ligue 1 side are unwilling to pay the amount as they believe they had a verbal agreement with the attacker to waive the payment. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-sue-psg-real-madrid-signing-legal-action-unpaid-wages-mother-admits/blt1eda242fb8087c08" target="_blank">Mbappe's mother said back in July</a> her son was prepared to sue PSG over the matter.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Frenchman's entourage told the AFP: "The eventuality of a mediation was mentioned this morning. This possibility was rejected during the meeting by the player's representative. A mediation would be useless so to record a lack of payment that would be seen from a simple analysis of the player's payslip."

WHAT MBAPPE SAID

Mbappe moved on from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-announce-signing-superstar-kylian-mbappe-from-psg/blt023bce8229a88449" target="_blank">PSG in the summer to Real Madrid</a> but may be set for a reunion with his former club in the law courts. In the meantime, Mbappe will return to action with Los Blancos on Saturday away at Real Sociedad in La Liga.
