Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport the 24-year-old said:
“We are talking about the best player in the history of football. It’s never good news when someone like Messi leaves.
“Personally, I don’t understand why many people were relieved he was gone. We are talking about Messi, he needs to be respected, and instead he didn’t get the respect he deserved in France.
“It’s a shame but that’s how it happened. We will have to do what we can to replace him.”
Mbappe is currently under contract at PSG until 2024 and the Frenchman has told the club he will not sign a new deal.
It is understood that PSG want the player to leave this summer if he refuses to sign a new contract extension.
Real Madrid have been linked with Mbappe and reports claim Ligue 1 champions will place a £174 million price tag on the striker.
And following the departure of Karim Benzema to Saudi Arabia, Los Blancos are set to have set their eyes on Mbappe.
