If there is one subject that seems inexhaustible in the football world, it is that of Kylian Mbappé. Whether on or off the field, the captain of the France team continues to make people talk about him. Sometimes voluntarily, often in spite of himself. A new episode puts a piece back in the machine this Tuesday, with the confirmation of his separation from his lawyer, Maître Delphine Verheyden.
The information was revealed this Wednesday by L’Équipe which detailed the course of events which led to this divorce after ten years of collaboration. Present when the Bondynois left Monaco to sign up with PSG in 2017, it was again she who was responsible for examining the contract signed by her client with Real Madrid in 2024. And then the end was whistled this summer, reported the sports media.
It was Ziad Hammoud, general manager of Interconnected Ventures, the holding company of Kylian Mbappé and his mother, Fayza Lamari, who informed Me Verheyden that the collaboration was over. According to L’Équipe, this choice would be the result of an opposition of currents within the entourage of the Real Madrid striker.
The council of the Paris Bar Association seized
Maître Delphine Verheyden confirmed to the media that her path and that of the Mbappé clan had taken different directions. “I have taken note of the desire of the general director of his group to end my agreement on August 16, 2026.” She took care to add that Kylian Mbappé was “an exceptional sportsman and man”.
The Team finally insisted on the fact that Ziad Hammoud
“never worked on good terms with the lawyer”. But the separation might not happen so quietly since the sports site indicated that Mr. Verheyden had contacted the council of the Paris Bar Association
“to obtain payment of fees, considering that the terms of his contract have not been respected”.
