Kylian Mbappé has withdrawn his criminal complaint against Paris Saint-Germain for moral harassment and attempted extortion of a signature, according to L’Équipe. The now-Real Madrid forward had filed the complaint on May 16, which led to a preliminary investigation and the appointment of two examining judges on June 24.
The decision was made public on Monday through his legal team, marks a shift in tone from the Mbappé camp, which is now seeking to de-escalate legal tensions and focus purely on sporting matters. However, the 26-year-old World Cup winner is continuing his case against PSG in the French labour courts , where he is pursuing €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses linked to the final months of his time in Paris.
Despite the drawn-out and often public fallout between Mbappé and PSG—particularly during the 2023-24 season, when he was excluded from the first team for several weeks—relations between the player and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi have recently softened. The Qatari executive even extended well wishes to Mbappé in an interview with L’Équipe, saying: “We were lucky this year, even without him. But I wish him the best at Real Madrid, from the bottom of my heart.”
