According to RMC, even after excluding Mbappe from the pre-season tour, PSG still wanted to punish the player further by restricting him from training and even sending him to the bench. Some sources from France even revealed that they revoked all permits to prevent Mbappe from entering the club’s headquarters and training center.
PSG’s actions have been deemed “unfair play” towards the player, leading them to receive a warning from the French Professional Footballers’ Union (UNFP). Specifically, the organization has cautioned the Ligue 1 champions to respect Mbappe’s current contract policy and allow him to operate normally at the club.
As per Article 507 of professional football regulations in France, clubs are obligated to provide players with training facilities to achieve or maintain the required physical standards for professional play. Hence, PSG’s ban on Mbappe from training is against the law and may subject them to financial penalties or even more severe consequences. Given Mbappe’s status as the top player of France, the French Football Federation (FFF) is likely to stand in his favor.
On his part, Mbappe may take legal action against PSG for “breach of labor laws,” and if successful, the player could unilaterally terminate his contract and depart immediately. Moreover, the French national team star may demand compensation from PSG.
However, the report does not mention the potential consequences that PSG might face if they bench Mbappe in the upcoming season. As long as the player is granted access to the club’s infrastructure and trains regularly with the team, PSG may not encounter any legal risks.
The drama surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s situation continues to unfold, leaving the footballing world in suspense. The outcome of this tense situation will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future of both the player and PSG. As the controversy lingers, football fans and pundits await further developments, eager to witness the resolution to this high-profile clash between the player and his club.
