The French league’s legal commission ordered Paris Saint-Germain to pay Kylian Mbappé the 55 million euros ($61 million) in unpaid wages that he claims he’s entitled to, the league said Thursday.

The league’s statement came a day after the France superstar rejected a mediation offer by the commission in his dispute with his former club.

PSG officials and Mbappé’s representatives met in Paris on Wednesday after Mbappé asked the commission to get involved.

Mbappé joined Real Madrid this summer on a free transfer.

After the meeting, Mbappé’s representatives told the AP that the France striker had asked the commission to take note of the non-payment of three months’ salary and the last third of a loyalty bonus.

PSG doesn’t intend to pay and announced that it will take further legal action.

The club has argued that it doesn’t owe money to the 25-year-old World Cup winner under an agreement when Mbappé was sidelined ahead of the 2023-24 season — following his decision not to prolong his contract with the club — with the player allegedly stipulating that he would relinquish bonuses over his reintegration into the team.

Mbappé stunned PSG in June last year by informing the club he wouldn’t take the option for an extra year.
