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, Mbappeâs mother Lamari, who is among the playerâs representatives, is expected to be central to any negotiations over her sonâs 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.
Lamariâs influence on Mbappeâs 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 Bluesâ academy in 2009, Lamari issued the Blues with an ultimatum.
Boga told the Athletic: âAt 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.
âThe dad didnât really talk. Heâs very calm and relaxed. The mum is like fire â bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!
âAt the trial, he never said to his son, âDribble, do this, do this.â He might say afterwards, âNext time, you have to pass it.â But the mum, next to the pitch, was like, âKylian, take the ball! Take him on! Go! Shoot!ââ
Chelsea allegedly told Mbappeâs 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 Mbappeâs parents only for Lamari to issue the Premier League club with an ultimatum.
He recalled: âBut then the mum said, âNo, we wonât come again. Tell them, âHe wonât come back. If you want to sign him, you sign him now.â And she said, âIn five years, you will come back for him for ÂŁ50million.â She said (to me), âTranslate that!â
âI couldnât say that; itâs too arrogant to say something like this, so I didnât translate it. I just said to Jim, âI donât think they will come back, so you have to make a decision now.ââ
