Paris Saint-Germain face the risk of being expelled from the Champions League due to a €55 million dispute over unpaid wages with Kylian Mbappe. Despite leaving PSG for Real Madrid as a free agent this summer, Mbappe claims he is owed €55 million, including a €36 million signing bonus, three months of unpaid salary, and an ‘ethics bonus’ for April-June 2024.

Mbappe’s lawyers have taken the matter to the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) and UEFA through the French Football Federation (FFF). The LFP could impose a transfer ban on PSG, and UEFA could potentially cancel PSG’s license for European competitions, which could exclude them from the Champions League.

Victor Boniface has opened up about how a big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen to Al Nassr fell apart at the very last minute. The Nigerian striker had everything in place, he had agreed personal terms with the Saudi club, passed his medical, and was looking forward to playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

The deal, which would have earned him around €45 million over three years, seemed all but done. But despite Bayer Leverkusen and Al Nassr reaching an agreement, the Saudi club made a sudden switch in plans and chose to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran instead.

Speaking on The Culture League podcast, Boniface shared just how close he came to leaving, “I was ready. Bags packed. I live in Cologne, and we had already driven to Frankfurt,” he said.

He admitted the money involved was massive and revealed he had already given away many of his designer clothes and shoes to friends back home. “The flight was ready. I was in my hotel room praying for it to happen… but it just didn’t go through in the end.”

Alvaro Morata is now on his way to Como, with his move finally set in motion after Galatasaray reached a full agreement to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Morata’s transfer had been stalled for several weeks due to Galatasaray’s long negotiations over Osimhen’s deal. But things moved quickly over the weekend as the Turkish side finalized the key details to bring in the Nigerian forward on a permanent basis.

Fabrizio Romano shared an update confirming that Morata will join Como once the Osimhen paperwork is fully completed. He noted that Morata has been waiting patiently for about a month for this switch to happen. Como and Morata had already settled personal terms, so the only thing left was Galatasaray’s clearance. With that now out of the way, the Spanish striker is set to make his return to Italy’s Serie A.

The deal sees him take a 15% pay cut, with Barcelona agreeing to cover his €14 million gross wages, which comes to about €7 million net. The contract also includes an option to buy him for €30 million by June 2026.

Reacting to the news during a chat with popular streamer IShowSpeed, Pogba said, “That’s crazy. I’m happy for him. United is losing a great player, that’s great for Barcelona.”
