Lionel Messi is urging Kylian Mbappe to stay with PSG.

The striker is a top target for Real Madrid.

But Messi says: “I just got here and I don't know him well enough to say (if he's going to Madrid), but a bit like everyone, we'll see what happens. If in the end he stays with us it will be a great joy and another way of helping us reach our goals."

Messi says that he is enjoying his time with Mbappe.

He also told France Football: “Really well since the first weeks, and Kylian speaks perfect Spanish too and with a player like that it's easy to get along. Good relationships off the pitch make things easier and although it's too soon to draw conclusions, I am sure it will go well."
