After a verbal agreement between Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Kylian Mbappé on giving up money (if he were to leave for free) in reinstating him back to the first team, Mbappé’s lawyer sent an official letter on August 11, 2023 to PSG’s general secretary stating his client (Kylian Mbappé) has instructed him to inform the club that he will give up around €55M of his bonuses in his PSG contract in-order to get back into playing and training with first-team and not to harm the club in-case he left on a free.
This was conditional on three things:
◉ Mbappé has to be reinstated back into the first from/around August 12, 2023, and not to be left out of the first team again in the season – which the club fulfilled.
◉ This has to be signed by August 14, 2023, at 12pm. After this date, the offer will be void.
◉ Drafting a joint press release saying there’s no more dispute between PSG and Kylian Mbappé and the step taken by Mbappé to resolve the dispute – which the club also fulfilled.

I read the post in depth. Here’s what I think happened:
Mbappe offered to relinquish €55 million (probably a year of his salary) in return for playing again. He asked Nasser to sign on this agreement.
Nasser didn’t sign the agreement because he thought he can hold out for more from Mbappe. He let Mbappe play again, but by not signing the agreement, he still hold on to the threat of suspending Mbappe in the future.
Mbappe told him he’ll think it over, but really he was stalling until the end of the season.
Nasser thought he was being clever, but Mbappe called his bluff because no team doesn’t play its best player.
Now that it is the end of the season, Nasser realizes he made a mistake and tries to go back to Mbappe’s offer, but Mbappe tells him it is too late.
Summary: Mbappe offered €55 million. Nasser wanted more. Now Mbappe is saying Nasser gets nothing.
