Kylian Mbappe may be forced to sack his own mum and agent Fayza Lamari, a fresh report has suggested.
Despite a high-profile feud between club and player over the summer, Mbappe remains at Paris Saint-Germain for the time being.
However, the France international is still expected to seal a transfer to Real Madrid next summer.

Should any move materialise, Mbappeās mother Lamari, who is among the playerās representatives, is expected to be central to any negotiations over her sonās future.
Indeed, Lamari has earned a reputation as a shrewd negotiator who is unafraid to ruffle feathers.
However, according to Marca, new FIFA regulation has meant Mbappe may be forced to part ways with his mum as a representative.
FIFA want agents to be licensed, while the organisation are capping the commission they earn on transfer fees and salaries and prohibiting multiple representation.
As can be seen on the FIFA Agent Platform, in the new FIFA Agent Directory, Lamari is not listed as one of the thousands of registered agents.
Without that license, Lamari is not allowed to represent any footballer, negotiate a contract or collect a commission, even indirectly.
Lamariās influence on Mbappeās career has been clear from the outset. When a young Mbappe was recommended for a trial by Daniel Boga, who had been scouting for Chelsea since his son Jeremie joined the Bluesā academy in 2009, Lamari issued the Blues with an ultimatum.
Boga told the Athletic: āAt the beginning, I was speaking to the dad. But then 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.
āThe dad didnāt really talk. Heās very calm and relaxed. The mum is like fire ā bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!
āAt the trial, he never said to his son, āDribble, do this, do this.ā He might say afterwards, āNext time, you have to pass it.ā But the mum, next to the pitch, was like, āKylian, take the ball! Take him on! Go! Shoot!āā
Chelsea allegedly told Mbappeās parents that while they were impressed by his talent, they wanted to see him more dedicated in his off-the-ball work.
Boga, acting as an interpreter, explained this to Mbappeās parents only for Lamari to issue the Premier League club with an ultimatum.
He recalled: āBut then the mum said, āNo, we wonāt come again. Tell them, āHe wonāt come back. If you want to sign him, you sign him now.ā And she said, āIn five years, you will come back for him for Ā£50million.ā She said (to me), āTranslate that!ā
āI couldnāt say that; itās too arrogant to say something like this, so I didnāt translate it. I just said to Jim, āI donāt think they will come back, so you have to make a decision now.āā
