Mbappe has €55m frozen from PSG's accounts amid salary row, says lawyer

France soccer captain Kylian Mbappe's legal team have appealed to the French sports minister and UEFA for his former club Paris St Germain to pay him 55 million euros in unpaid wages and said several of the club's accounts had been frozen on Thursday.

The French League ordered PSG to pay the player last year but the French Football Federation ruled that Mbappe's request was inadmissible because of an ongoing procedure in a civil court. Mbappe's legal team, however, have turned to a Paris court to freeze 55 million euros in PSG's accounts. 

PSG said in October that they would be "forced to bring the case before the competent courts" while they were still trying to find an "amicable solution" with Mbappe. Mbappe's lawyers on Thursday said they would submit their case before the labour chamber.
