Alongside Wilfrid Mbappé, Fayza Lamari managed her prodigy son’s career from a very young age, like when Kylian went for a trial at Chelsea. The mother was categorical with the leaders of the Blues.
After his “pre-training” at INF Clairefontaine (he played with AS Bondy on the weekend), Kylian Mbappé could have joined the training center of RC Lens or that of SM Caen rather than AS Monaco. But the player, then aged 12, also took a test at Chelsea and he could very well have been trained in England! The London club’s Academy was convinced by the small striker from 9-3 and then asked the little prodigy’s parents to come back a second time.
It was Fayza Lamari who then clashed with the leaders of the Blues, as recounted in an article from The Athletic about the former handball player (in French D1 with Bondy). “ Tell them we’re not coming back. If they want it, they sign it now. In five years, they will come back and buy it for 50 million euros. Translate that! », she said to Daniel Boga, the brother of Jérémie Boga, who was the intermediary and who, shocked by the audacity of Fayza Lamari, then translated something else to his interlocutor.
In short, this episode which occurred on the other side of the Channel clearly demonstrates the essential role of Fayza Lamari in the career of Kylian Mbappé from a very young age. Golazo, the Sports.fr and French Football Weekly podcast, tells you about the influence of this education sciences graduate on the career of her son, a young prodigy who became a French football phenomenon and then an international star.
