Tribunal Orders QPR to Compensate Reading for Mbengue
A Professional Football Compensation Committee has set a fee after Queens Park Rangers and Reading failed to agree. The tribunal found a payment was due over defender Amadou Mbengue’s move last summer.
Tribunal decision
The independent panel examined the clubs’ submissions. It concluded QPR must compensate Reading for Mbengue.
Transfer background
Mbengue, 24, moved to Loftus Road after his Reading contract expired. Reading had signed him from French club Metz in 2022 on a free transfer.
Financial terms
The compensation amount is understood to be slightly under the £350,000 QPR offered during the summer. The clubs’ inability to agree led to the committee setting the fee.
Playing record
Mbengue has featured 36 times for QPR this season. He has been a regular in the club’s defence since his arrival.
Filmogaz.com reported the ruling and the committee’s involvement. The decision brings a formal end to the dispute between the clubs.
