Kylian Mbapp has officially withdrawn his complaint of moral harassment against former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), according to his lawyer Pierre-Olivier Sur, who confirmed the development to AFP on Monday, July 7. We are withdrawing our civil action, Sur said, just days before Mbapps current club, Real Madrid, faces PSG in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup on Wednesday. The complaint had triggered an investigation by the Paris prosecutors office last month, after Mbapp alleged mistreatment by PSG at the beginning of the 202324 season. The French forward claimed he was marginalized by the club and made to train separately with players the club intended to sell, following his refusal to sign a new contract. This alleged practice, which has affected other professional footballers, had also prompted a complaint by the French players union in 2023. Mbapp was excluded from PSGs pre-season tour of Asia that year and missed the opening match of the Ligue 1 campaign. He was eventually reinstated to the squad after discussions with club officials. The 26-year-old striker left PSG last summer to join Real Madrid, ending a seven-year spell in Paris during which he scored 256 goals in 308 appearances. PSG went on to win their first-ever UEFA Champions League title after his departure. Mbapp remains in a legal dispute with PSG over an estimated 55 million ($64.4 million) in unpaid wages and bonuses, a separate matter that is still ongoing in court.
