Paris St-Germain have been ordered to pay former striker Kylian Mbappe 60 million euros in unpaid salary and bonuses by a French court.
Mbappe had been seeking 263 million euros from his former club after the long-running dispute reached a Paris labour court in November.
The European champions were counter-suing the France captain for 240 million euros.
The 26-year-old Real Madrid forward claimed the nine-figure sum as damages in response to a contract dispute and ill-treatment by the club.
However, he was awarded just over a fifth of that amount in court on Tuesday.
The court recognised that PSG had failed to pay three months of his salary between April and June 2024 as well as an ethics bonus and a signing bonus under his contract.
It is believed that the majority of the money awarded to Mbappe was bonuses, rather than his salary.
In May, a 55 million euro sum in the club's accounts was frozen following a request by Mbappe's legal team.
Mbappe's lawyer Frederique Cassereau says they are satisfied with this ruling adding this is what you could expect when salaries went unpaid.
While accepting the court's ruling, PSG haven't ruled out appealing against the decision.
The club had been seeking compensation for Mbappe's failed 300 million euro transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in 2023.
