Bouajila alleges he was only paid sporadically through a Doha-based tennis academy.
A spokesperson for PSG's owners Qatar Sports Investments said in a statement that Bouajila had never been employed by the club.
"We won't make any further comment about completely spurious individuals who trade on misinformation and media manipulation," the statement added.
