Kylian Mbappe’s mother and agent reveals row with PSG star after demanding HALF of striker’s earnings
KYLIAN MBAPPE’S mum has revealed a spat she had with her son after demanding 50 PER CENT of his on-pitch earnings.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward’s mother, Fayza Lamari, is also his agent.
But the former handball player, 49, recently angered her son when she asked for HALF of the £46million wage packet he receives from the French champions.
Lamari claims in an interview with Envoye Especial that she asked for the substantial cut of his salary, before Mbappe replied: “I’m never ever going to give it to you [50 per cent].
“What’s wrong with you? I’m the one who scores the goals and do you want to take half of it?”
Lamari recalls responding: “Yes, it’s true. You are very good but we are a team and we value what you do for your own good.
“I don’t mind working 23 hours-a-day for you but the only thing I can do is what I enjoy [which] is with IBKM [The foundation Mbappe has that works to help children].”
She went on to add: “Either you give me 30 per cent or I’m going to the Maldives.”
Mbappe is then said to have agreed to the compromise.
It comes as the France superstar prepares to make a huge decision in the summer.
Mbappe’s PSG contract expires at the end of the season and he is being heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
However, recent reports have claimed PSG are lining up an £86m-a-year deal to keep him in the French capital.
Mbappe, who joined PSG from Monaco for £163m, has scored 238 goals and provided 102 assists in 285 games.
He has won five Ligue 1 titles and three French Cups, while he also inspired France to back-to-back World Cup finals – clinching the trophy back in 2018 before they lost to Argentina in 2022.
He has scored a sensational 12 goals in 14 appearances at the World Cup.
