Kylian Mbappe Can Soon Sack His Own Mother as His Agent

French football star Kylian Mbappe could be forced to sack his mother and agent Fayza Lamari amid transfer drama. Mbappe’s transfer saga at Paris has always brought up new twists and turns during its course in the summer transfer window. It has now been revealed that the French footballer might have to part ways with his mother as his manager. According to MARCA, new FIFA regulations state that all agents and representatives of football stars must be licensed. They are also capping the commission that agents can earn on transfer fees and salaries while prohibiting multiple representation. Lamari is neither listed on the FIFA Agent Platform nor the new FIFA Agent Directory. Without a license, she cannot represent any footballer, negotiate a contract or take commissions, not even indirectly.

Over the years, Fayza Lamari has earned a reputation for being a shrewd negotiator who isn’t scared to annoy someone. Her influence on Mbappe’s career has been right from the get-go. It was reported that during Chelsea’s trial of Kylian Mbappe, it was Lamari who issued an ultimatum to the club. Daniel Boga who was in charge of Mbappe’s trial for The Blues revealed to the Athletic that he initially thought that it was his dad who took care of his son’s paperwork and transfer duties. However, when his mother arrived one could tell that it was she who actually took care of everything. “At the beginning, I was speaking to the dad but when his mum came, and when that happened you could feel she was the one who controlled everything. She was the one talking to the club,” Boga said as quoted by SportBible.

Daniel Boga added that Kylian’s dad did not talk much. He was much calmer and relaxed while mum was quite aggressive. “The mum is like fire – bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!” he said. Boga also talked about how the father didn’t get much involved in his son’s trial. He never asked Mbappe to dribble or shoot while Fayza Lamari was quite the opposite. Chelsea were reportedly impressed with Mbappe’s talent during the trial but they also wanted to see the French international’s dedication to off-the-ball work. Boga who acted as an interpreter explained the situation to the player’s family, but Lamari felt the need to issue a final statement for Chelsea.

Despite Kylian Mbappe’s high-profile feud with Paris Saint-Germain, the French international has decided to remain at the club for the time being. It is expected that Real Madrid will be able to seal a transfer for the French international next summer. Fayza Lamari will likely be central to any negotiation over her son’s future if any move were to materialise.
