Senegal national team coach Pape Thiaw has reportedly filed a claim against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a substantial sum, following the public dispute between the club and its former star forward Kylian Mbappé. The claim, which has not been officially confirmed by either party, is said to relate to unpaid bonuses or compensation linked to Mbappé's contract situation.
According to sources close to the matter, Thiaw's demand is based on an alleged agreement with PSG that would have entitled him to a percentage of any transfer fee or contractual settlement involving Mbappé. However, no official documents have been made public to verify these claims.
PSG and Mbappé have been embroiled in a legal battle over unpaid wages and bonuses, with Mbappé claiming the club owes him around €55 million. The dispute escalated after Mbappé's departure to Real Madrid in 2024, and the case is currently under review by the French Football Federation and the Ligue de Football Professionnel.
Thiaw, who took over as Senegal's head coach in 2024, has not commented publicly on the matter. The Senegalese Football Federation has also remained silent, and it is unclear whether Thiaw's claim is made in a personal capacity or with the federation's backing.
Neither PSG nor Thiaw's representatives have issued an official statement, and the claim has not been filed in any court as of this writing. The story remains unverified, and further details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
