French Court Dismisses Mbappé's Harassment Case Against PSG

French judicial authorities have dismissed the psychological harassment complaint filed by Kylian Mbappé against Paris Saint-Germain. The decision, made public on Friday, was based on a lack of sufficient evidence to support the accusation. The ruling eliminates the last active legal dispute between the Real Madrid striker and his former club.

• A French court dismissed Mbappé's harassment complaint against PSG due to insufficient evidence.
• Mbappé had already withdrawn the lawsuit, but the judicial investigation continued until its formal closure in May.
• The conflict began when PSG sidelined the player at the start of the 2022/2023 season after he refused to renew his contract.
• PSG was ordered to pay Mbappé 61 million euros in a separate contractual ruling.
• This decision closes all legal proceedings between Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain.

Why French Judges Dismissed Mbappé's Harassment Case Against PSG

Investigating judges closed the case in May, according to French media reports. The key factor was that the complainant himself no longer supported the lawsuit, making it impossible to move forward. The absence of sufficient evidence to prove the alleged psychological harassment further sealed the case's fate.

Mbappé's legal team filed the complaint in 2024, in the middle of the dispute over unpaid wages and bonuses from his PSG contract. Although they later withdrew it, the judicial machinery had already begun its work and the investigation continued until this final dismissal.

The Roots of the Conflict Between Mbappé and Al-Khelaifi

The harassment complaint traced back to the beginning of the 2022/2023 campaign. Mbappé was removed from the first-team squad after informing the club he would not extend his contract, which was set to expire at the end of that season. The board led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi used this pressure tactic to push him toward a renewal or a lucrative transfer before he could leave on a free.

The sporting exile lasted several weeks before the forward was reinstated with the first team. That opening season on the Parisian bench was managed by Luis Enrique, and at the end of the campaign Mbappé departed for Real Madrid as a free agent.

Mbappé Wins 61 Million Euro Ruling Against PSG

The player's exit from Paris Saint-Germain was far from smooth on the financial front. The club withheld part of his salary and bonuses, arguing there was a verbal agreement with Al-Khelaifi to compensate for his departure without a transfer fee. Mbappé rejected that interpretation and, in May 2025, launched a multi-pronged legal offensive, including the harassment complaint.

The contractual dispute was resolved in the player's favor. A labor court ordered PSG to pay him 61 million euros. The club did not appeal the ruling, making it final, and that outcome led Mbappé to withdraw the harassment complaint that has now been officially dismissed.

Mbappé's Legacy in Paris: From Record Transfer to All-Time Top Scorer

Mbappé joined PSG in 2017 from Monaco in a transfer worth 180 million euros, the second most expensive move in football history. Across seven seasons he became the club's all-time leading scorer, winning seven Ligue 1 titles, four French Cups and one Coupe de la Ligue.

In 2024 he left on a free transfer to sign for Real Madrid, the club he had always dreamed of joining. This week's judicial closure erases the last contentious trace of a relationship that soured despite the shared success.

Final Chapter in Mbappé's Legal War with Paris Saint-Germain

With the dismissal of the harassment case, every legal dispute between the striker and PSG has been resolved. The financial settlement stemming from the labor ruling and the closure of the criminal complaint draw a definitive line under a confrontation that extended beyond the pitch for more than two years.

Mbappé is now fully focused on his career at Real Madrid, while Paris Saint-Germain moves forward into a new sporting era without its biggest star. A public reconciliation between the two sides does not appear to be on the horizon, but the legal path is now completely closed.
