Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker Kylian Mbappe and the French national team may be forced to remove his mother, Fayza Lamari, as his representative. A little-known new rule prevents Fayza Lamari from representing players, including her son.
Marca newspaper (Spain) reported that Mbappe may be forced to replace his mother with another representative.
According to the new regulations of the World Football Federation ( FIFA ), Ms. Fayza Lamari does not have the necessary license to become a player representative. In FIFA’s list of legal representatives, Ms. Fayza Lamari is not named.
Ms. Fayza Lamari faces the risk of being reported to FIFA if she continues to represent Mbappe.
FIFA’s legal representatives are allowed to negotiate their clients’ contracts with other clubs, as well as receive commissions after the contract is completed according to the parties’ agreement.
Ms. Fayza Lamari faces the risk of being reported to FIFA if she continues to represent her “favorite son”, which could cause both of them to pay a huge fine.
Currently, FIFA’s new regulations will prevent Ms. Fayza Lamari from participating in any potential transfer involving Kylian Mbappe, including Mbappe’s possible contract extension with PSG.
However, FIFA’s new regulations still have exceptions. Accordingly, a court has ruled that German clubs do not need to implement FIFA’s new regulations. Meanwhile, this regulation in the UK has not yet been applied until the final court ruling on November 1.
Kylian Mbappe is not the only case of having a relative represent him. Accordingly, superstar Lionel Messi is represented by his father, Mr. Jorge Messi. International media did not put Mr. Jorge Messi on the “black list”, perhaps because he is qualified to represent Lionel Messi’s son.
Currently, Kylian Mbappe is very close to leaving PSG this summer after informing the club that he has no intention of extending his contract. The current contract between the two sides will expire in 2024.
Kylian Mbappe may be forced to fire his mother as her representative.
However, despite many disagreements in the summer, Mbappe was still returned to the PSG squad. With the current situation, the capital team is at risk of losing Mbappe without earning any money in the summer of 2024.
According to L’Equipe , there has been a change with Mbappe. He is willing to consider staying and promises that PSG will receive the transfer fee if he leaves. The French star will delay committing to a contract until after PSG ended its journey in the Champions League this season.
The attraction of Real Madrid has always been great for this striker. He rejected their offer twice, but the Spanish giant remained undeterred. There are rumors that a third offer would be able to complete the deal.
For their part, PSG has repeatedly tried to offer him a contract extension. Each new contract offered has better remuneration than the previous offer, because they consider Mbappe an important figure in the club’s project. However, everything may now depend on their performance in the Champions League.
This is also the arena where PSG always desires to win. If they are eliminated early and Mbappe decides to leave, it is unclear what obstacles will there be in his move to Real Madrid.
In the immediate future, the Parisian team must win against AC Milan in the Champions League on October 25 after stumbling against Newcastle. They lost heavily with a score of 1-4 to the representative of England and that will be a worrying result in a group considered “death”.
