Speaking to La Parisien ahead of the European clash, Hazard was asked whether he’d like to bring Mbappe to Los Blancos and he said: “If I could.
“He’ll be the best in the world within the next few years.
“There are many young players that have high potential but, if Kylian continues like this, he’ll be one of the best players in history.
“By 20 years old, I’d already been champion of France with Lille, but in terms of statistics, there’s no comparison between me and Mbappe.
“I was developing bit by bit but Mbappe is already in his peak at 20.”
Despite Hazard’s desire to play alongside the lightning fast forward, recent reports in France suggest talks over a new PSG contract for Mbappe are progressing well.
The French club are reportedly offering a double-your-money £34.5million-a-year contract to keep Mbappe out of Real Madrid’s clutches.
And L’Equipe report that negotiations have started well as the French champions’ president Leonardo has made Mbappe’s future a priority.
