Mbappe said, "We are talking about possibly the best player in football history. The departure of players like Messi has never been good news. Personally, I don't quite understand why so many people feel relieved because of Messi's departure. Let's talk about Messi: he hasn't received the respect he deserves in France. Unfortunately, but that's the way it is. We must do our best to fill such a gap."
When asked if he would transfer in the future, Mbappe said, "I have not requested either to be sold or to go to Real Madrid. I just don't want to activate the+1 renewal clause in the contract. We have never discussed a renewal with Paris Saint Germain, but I am happy to stay here next season."
