The club were told to fork out €55m (£46m) – a figure including missing bonuses as well as wages from the forward’s seven-year spell in Paris – by the LFP, French professional football’s governing body, but have confirmed they will not follow the ruling.
Mbappe is thought to have contacted UEFA last month over the salary dispute.
He was initially meant to receive a hefty signing bonus in February and is attempting to also claw back the last three months of his wages at the club.
The disagreement stems from his acrimonious departure from the Parc des Princes earlier in the summer and whether he would be able to leave on a free transfer.
‘Given the limits of the legal scope of the committee to make a complete decision on this case, the case must now be contested before another jurisdiction, to which PSG will be happy to present all the facts in the months and years to come,’ the club said.
Reports previously indicated that PSG had refused to pay Mbappe his wages in an effort to save a promised loyalty bonus written into his extension in 2022.
Regardless, the LFP’s legal commission ordered the club to hand over the full amount a day after Mbappe rejected a mediation offer to resolve the dispute.
Mbappe, the captain of the French national side, joined Real Madrid earlier in the summer. His departure came after years of reported disputes with PSG.
