With Real Madrid the most likely to secure his signature should he leave the French side, there is a new factor that could come into play regarding Mbappe’s future plans.

As noted by Football Espana, the 25-year-old’s mother, Fayza Lamari, has been named once again as his agent.

Lamari was the agent of both Kylian and his brother Ethan before she was removed from the role.

Why Mbappe’s mother couldn’t be an agent

As noted by Goal, a new proposed FIFA rule stipulates that transfers and contracts can only discussed by licensed agents. Lamari is not a licensed agent and can’t represent anyone officially.

FIFA have since suspended the rule, and Lamari has since been reinstated as her son’s agent.

Mbappe’s future is up in the air

With Mbappe entering the final six months of his contract, he is officially allowed to negotiate with other teams.

Los Blancos will be first in line to try and tempt him to Spain, but PSG aren’t giving up without a fight.

Get Football News France reported that the Ligue 1 champions are optimistic he will extend his stay at the club.

Mbappe's mother lambasted by Madrid star's agent

Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy's representative, Yvan Le Mee, recently expressed criticism towards Fayza Lamari, the mother of Kylian Mbappe.

Le Mee questioned Lamari's suitability as an agent for her footballing sons, Kylian and Ethan, highlighting her lack of licencing and experience in the field.

Mendy's agent plainly stated representing her sons as an agent was not her job and that she had no 'capacity to act' as their representative, Sports Brief reported.
