Explained: Why PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe will have to sack his own mother to secure Real Madrid transfer – but he could still move to the Premier League

The France international forward is represented by members of his close family at present. However, that situation could cause issues when it comes to negotiating a potential switch to Spain.

Mbappe continues to be heavily linked with Madrid as he is yet to extend a contract at Paris Saint-Germain that is due to expire in 2024. Marca claims that in order to land a move to Santiago Bernabeu, the 24-year-old will have to sever professional ties with his mother.

That is because a new FIFA rule dictates that transfers and contracts can only be discussed by licensed agents. Lamari is not listed on the FIFA Agent Platform, and is therefore unable to represent any player on an official basis.

Lamari would be unable to obtain the relevant certificates until May 2024 and faces the threat of a fine if she continues to represent her son. There are, however, a couple of loopholes that could be explored as teams in Germany and England have blocks in place that prevent them from having to adhere to the FIFA regulations for now – meaning that Mbappe could head for the Bundesliga or Premier League if he wanted to keep his mother in place and speak with other clubs.
