A Paris appeals court has ordered Kylian Mbappe to pay his former club Paris Saint-Germain €60,000 (nearly $70,700) in compensation over precautionary seizures placed on PSG's bank accounts in 2025, according to L'Equipe.

The measures, which temporarily froze some of the club's funds, were sought by Mbappe's lawyers as part of a wider financial dispute that followed his move to Real Madrid in August 2024.

Bank accounts frozen amid payment dispute

After leaving PSG for Real Madrid, Mbappe sought around €60 million from the French club over bonuses and other payments that he said had not been paid.

His lawyers subsequently moved to place precautionary seizures on PSG's bank accounts, temporarily restricting access to some of the club's funds.

PSG challenged the measures and argued that they had been unjustified. The seizures were eventually lifted in May.

The Paris Court of Appeal has now ruled that Mbappe must pay PSG €60,000 in compensation over the account freezes.

PSG's reputation claims turned down

While awarding compensation to PSG, the court rejected the club's claims relating to moral damages and alleged harm to its image and reputation.

PSG had sought a symbolic payment of 1 euro under those claims.

The ruling forms part of a broader legal dispute between the two sides. In December 2025, PSG was ordered to pay Mbappe €61 million.
