While the LFP had previously stated that their decisions were not subject to further appeal within the league's own structures, this civil court ruling carries significant weight. However, reports indicate that PSG intend to appeal the decision again, dragging the saga out even further.
The ruling serves as a final, sour note to a relationship that once promised to define an era. Mbappe left PSG as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer with 256 goals, but his departure was marred by deep tensions. From being left off the pre-season tour of Japan to the frosty relationship with president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the breakup was as public as it was messy.
Now starring for Real Madrid, where he has already made his mark in La Liga, Mbappe will be hoping this judgment allows him to finally close the door on his Parisian chapter. After winning the court battle, will be aiming to dethrone his former side by guiding his new club to Champions League glory this season. The two sides are in good standing in the competition, with PSG sitting in third place and a point ahead of Madrid, who are seventh.
