Agent slams Mbappe clash with PSG owners: Mum doesn't know what she's doing

The mother and agent of Kylian Mbappe has been slammed over her management of the PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe is set to be sold this summer after refusing to trigger the 12 month option in his deal. The striker's contract now has a year to run and his stand has infuriated PSG's owners, the Qatari Royal Family.

Real Madrid and Liverpool have been mentioned as suitors in Spain, with PSG wanting €200m to sell Mbappe.

And agent Yvan La Mee insists the situation could've been handled far better by mother and agent Fayza Lamari.

He told RMC: "Being an agent is not Mbappe's mother's job. She does not have the ability to act. There is a reality, you have to do what you know how to do. I wanted to make a restaurant but I don't know how to cook, because I don't have to," he began.

"There is the 'I take care of my son' and there is the 'I offer my services to 20, 30, 100 players' . As an agent, we are people to do operations. I am convinced that if Kylian Mbappe had had an agent at the time of the negotiations with Real Madrid two years ago, he would already be there.

"When you don't have the habits and customs, when you talk to a coach from a historic club like someone you've known for a long time, it might not work.

"I don't know how to handle the situation to get there. He is still in Paris and obviously he doesn't seem happy to be there."
