Kylian Mbappé's lawyer issues an ultimatum to the FFF and intends to review the convention "before the September shooting"

Delphine Verheyden, Kylian Mbappé's lawyer and image rights specialist, explains, for L'Equipe, why the striker snubbed the d


Kylian Mbappé refused, at the start of the French team's training camp for the friendly matches against Côte d'Ivoire in Marseille (2-1) and this March 29 in Lille against South Africa, to participate in the operations marketing and photo shoots related to Les Bleus sponsors.

By making this choice, the PSG striker is at fault in relation to the agreement on the rights and obligations of players signed with the French Football Federation (FFF) since 2010. The world champion intends to renegotiate this text to to be able to choose the sponsors he defends.

In an interview with L'Equipe on March 28 Delphine Verheyden, his lawyer, details his expectations formulated for three years to Noël Le Graët, president of 3F.

The lawyer already denounces the duration of this agreement: “This document comes into force at the time of its signature and expires five years after the end of his professional career, explains Delphine Verheyden.

This is the first thing that troubles us.

For Kylian, it should therefore go from his 18 years to his 40 years roughly.

It's not realistic to make such a long commitment.

This convention was drafted in 2010 and the world of 2022 has nothing to do with the post-Knysna world.

It is mathematical and philosophical for us.

She continues further in the interview: “It is important that the players are in harmony with the advertisements in which they participate.

They have a role model for their young audience.

This role should be handled with care.

Negotiations expected before next September

For Kylian Mbappé's advice, players have a right to assert consistency in the image they convey.

“At the end of the World Cup (in 2018), Kylian tried, despite the incredible number of proposals received, to always have a line in his choices, recalls the lawyer.

Rather than food that could lead to obesity, he made a choice by going to "Good Goût" which is a brand of organic food for children.

This does not mean that he himself is totally irreproachable in what he consumes.

But rather that he wants to carry the right messages to the youngest who are influenced by their idols.

Noël Le Graët seems willing to listen to the requests of the Mbappé clan.

On the merits, the duration of this contract for example or the notion of collective image when it is only a question of a few players seem destined to evolve in the coming months.

Delphine Verheyden will do everything to make it effective before next September, the date of the next shoot with the sponsors of the Blues.
