The 24-year-old French World Cup-winning star Kylian Mbappe's present contract with Paris Saint-Germain will end in June 2024. Mbappe hasn't given any green signal yet to extend his PSG contract.
Meanwhile, like many other top clubs, Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid are also keen to sign the star French forward. Madrid has been interested in Mbappe for a long time.
On the other hand, Mbappe also has a childhood dream to play for Real Madrid. But if he now wants to join the Whites, his mother, Fayza Lamari, can't act as his agent anymore.
As a player agent, Mbappe's mother, Lamari, has a highly influential role in his soccer career. However, the new FIFA rules restrict his mother to continue this role.
FIFA wants only licensed agents to be involved in transfers and contracts of the players with the clubs. Meanwhile, in the new FIFA Agent Directory, Lamari isn't listed among the registered agents.
Lamari can't be a FIFA registered agent at least before May 2024. So, Mbappe must have to replace his mother with any FIFA registered agent to join his childhood dream club, Real Madrid.
However, Mbappe can avoid immediately sacking his mother as his agent if he chooses any German or English club because these countries still have the strategies to bypass FIFA regulations.
It will be interesting to see what will be the next step for Mbappe as the 2024 summer is going to be crucial for his soccer career future.
