Mbappe Sues PSG for Forcing Him to Sign New Deal and Harassing Him
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has taken legal action against his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, accusing them of attempted extortion and trying to pressure him into signing a new deal back in 2023 by banning him from training with the squad.
According to reports from Le Parisien, French authorities have launched an investigation after Mbappe, who also captains the French national team, filed a formal complaint for moral harassment. The complaint, which was submitted on May 16, focuses on how PSG handled the striker’s situation during the summer of 2023. At the time, Mbappe was left out of the first-team squad after refusing to extend his contract.
Following the complaint, two investigating judges have now been assigned to oversee the case, with the formal investigation officially starting on Tuesday. Mbappe eventually left PSG as a free agent and signed for Real Madrid, where he has since hit the ground running and made a strong impression with his performances.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
