PARIS (AP) — The French league says its appeals commission has upheld the decision ordering Paris Saint-Germain to pay Kylian Mbappé 55 million euros in unpaid wages. The LFP legal commission ruled in favor of Mbappé last month but PSG insisted it did not owe him money and appealed. The parties were heard again on Oct. 15 and the verdict remained unchanged on Friday. The French league tells The Associated Press in an email that PSG “must pay him the parts of his salary he is claiming.” Mbappé claimed three months’ salary and the last third of a loyalty bonus. He joined Real Madrid this summer on a free transfer.
