Their request can be described as outrageous, to say the least, as they ask the court to nullify Mbappe’s contract with the French club, on the ground of breaching the financial fair play rules.

La Liga president, Javier Tebas has been very open in his criticism of the Kylian Mbappe contract renewal with PSG. This is uncharted territory in the world of football and it could help shape the future of the sport, depending on the outcome of this petition.

PSG, who won the French Ligue 1 title last season, but failed to impress in Europe, will be starting their title defense on the 5th of August away to Clermont, while hoping to better their performance in Europe after another disappointing campaign when they were knocked out by Real Madrid in the knockout stages.

They did get their revenge by keeping Mbappe from the grasp of the Los Blancos in the transfer market.

Meanwhile…

Barcelona may be conceding defeat in their pursuit of Sevilla defender, Jules Kounde and are already on the lookout for a suitable alternative as they struggle to meet the price set by the Andalusian club.

Despite activating two economic levers, the Blaugrana need to either activate a third one or sell of at least, one high profile player in order to be able to sign Kounde and also register all the prayers that they’ve signed so far.

Top on their list is Villarreal defender, Pau Torres, who is said to have informed his club to consider any bid that comes in for him as he looks to take the big leap in his career.

After helping the Yellow Submarines to a stellar campaign last season, getting to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where they knocked out Bayern Munich before being stopped by Liverpool. A fee of about €50 million should be enough to sign him and the player himself is also open to the idea of joining.
