KYLIAN MBAPPE is "very happy" with Lionel Messi's arrival at Paris Saint-Germain, according to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
But Al-Khelaifi has also warned Mbappe that he has "no excuse" to leave PSG as they now have the most competitive team in the world.
The 34-year-old Argentine was presented to the media on Wednesday after signing a two-year deal worth £650,000-a-week, leaving Barcelona after 21 years.
Messi will wear the No30 shirt, which sold out at the club shop in just 30 minutes.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winners' move comes as Mbappe is yet to sign a contract extension with the Parisians.
And should Mbappe choose not to extend his contract, he could leave for free next summer.
However, the club president revealed that Mbappe is "very happy" with Messi's arrival, despite being linked with a move away as a result of the Argentine's arrival.
Al Khelaifi told Le Parisien: “Our talks with Kylian and his family are private.
"Kylian is very happy with Messi’s arrival. There are no problems.
"Mbappe wants a great team, he has everything to stay here. I said: there is no excuse to leave”.
Al-Khelaifi also acknowledged Mbappe's ambition to win trophies when he addressed the media alongside Messi.
But warned the World Cup-winning Frenchman he has "no excuse" to leave.
He said: "I think we have the most competitive team. Now there is no choice for Kylian but to stay here in Paris
