The French starlet was linked with almost every top side in Europe before finally moving to the Parisian giants on an initial loan deal during the summer transfer window.
Spanish champions Real Madrid were rumoured to hold a serious interest in the player, who starred for Monaco last term, but in the end, the 18-year-old opted for a new challenge alongside Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Co. at the Parc des Princes.
However, Maradona revealed that he recommended the player to Real president Florentino Perez. "I told him to sign Mbappe... I told him!", said the former Napoli star.
Furthermore, Maradona also sent a message to PSG regarding their style of play: "I'm not a big fan. They rely a lot on Neymar and on Cavani's goals... for me Mbappe is a revelation."
