PARIS (AP) —Kylian Mbappéhas accusedParis Saint-Germainof moral harassment in a legal filing, the Paris prosecutor's office confirmed on Thursday. The Real Madrid star is at odds with his former club,arguing PSG owes him 55 million euros($61 million) in unpaid wages. Mbappé is also unhappy with the way he was treated by the Ligue 1 club when the France captain was sidelined before the 2023-24 season, following his decision not to extend his club contract. The prosecutor's office said Mbappé is "denouncing the 'lofting' he claimed to have been subjected to at Paris Saint-Germain." The word lofting is used in France to describe a practice that involves isolating a player from the main squad for sporting, administrative, or disciplinary reasons. Mbappéjoined Real Madridlast summer on a free transfer after scoring a club-record 256 goals in seven years at PSG, whichwon the Champions Leaguewithout him this year. Mbappé's relationship with PSG ended amiddeep tensions, and somefans booed himin his last home game at Parc des Princes. PSG felt let down by Mbappé after offering him the most lucrative contract in club history when hesigned a new contractin 2022. But Mbappé was frustrated because he felt promises to sign key players were not kept. When he signed that deal, he was paraded in front of fans holding up a jersey with 2025 on it. Mbappé was reportedly annoyed because the contract was until 2024 — with a player's option for an extra season. Mbappé stunned PSG in June 2023 by informing the club he wouldnot take the optionfor an extra year. With his contract effectively into its final year, it put PSG in the position of needing to sell Mbappé to avoid losing him for nothing when the contract expired. His PSG career could have ended that summer amid atense transfer standoff. After telling the club he would not extend, Mbappé was left off a preseason tour to Japan and South Korea and forced to train with fringe players. PSG said it would rather sell him than let the player leave for free in 2024, but he rejected a300 million euros moveto Saudi Arabia team Al-Hilal. PSG left Mbappé out of the opening league game of that season but he soon returned to the lineup following talks. Mbappé's legal team said in April it would start an action against PSG for harassment because of the way he was treated at the time. ___ AP soccer:https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
