France forward Kylian Mbappe is suing his former Paris Saint-Germain over what he describes as moral harassment.

The suit stems from an alleged treatment the French club subjected the current Real Madrid star to when he informed them of his intention to leave on a free transfer in June 2023 and would not be triggering the optional one-year extension in his deal.

Following this, it's reported that the club, on the other hand, sidelined him and placed him on “loft”—a group of sidelined players—during the 2023 pre-season.

This, Mbappé’s legal team contends was a form of psychological pressure intended to coerce the French forward into triggering the one-year contract extension clause or sign a new contract.

A court in Paris assigned two judges to investigate the situation after Mbappe complained on May 16, according to RMC Sport.

The investigation and case run on the side of the current legal tussle between the player and his former club over unpaid wages.

According to Mbappe, PSG owes him €55 million (about $61 million) in unpaid wages and bonuses, particularly in the final months to the expiry of his contract.

A claim the club blatantly denies saying, club, Mbappé voluntarily gave up those earnings by choosing not to extend his stay.

This amount relates to the final months of his contract.

PSG aren't the only club accused of dumping players in an attempt to make them sign a new contract or accept an offer from elsewhere.

The Professional Footballers' Union filed a complaint back in January 2024 against French clubs for the same practice.

Earlier, PSG women’s team player Kheira Hamraoui sued PSG for similar treatment.

Meanwhile, PSG formally announced the end of the era between the club and Kylian Mbappé at the end of the 2023–24 season.

This was after Kylianpublicly announced on May 10, 2024, that he would not renew his contract.

In a heartfelt video, he confirmed, “It’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend, and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks.”

Real Madrid then announced Mbappé’s signing on June 3, 2024, confirming a five-year deal that runs through 2029. The club announced an official statement and coordinated social media posts.
