And the France international has fuelled speculation of a move to Real after revealing his admiration for their manager Zidane.
"The player made me dream, and still does when I see certain videos," said Mbappe when asked about his French compatriot.
Mbappe admits he has no desire to leave Monaco for less game time, but claims he is only focusing on his time with the France squad for the time being.
He said: "I am focused on the national team above all.

"There is an awful lot of time ahead to think about all that. There are three important matches coming up, I will take stock after.
"Why would I play less? [If he moved away from Monaco]. I will have the time to think about all that, but no, I am not afraid of leaving."
Manchester City announced the signing of Mbappe's Monaco team-mate Bernardo Silva last week for £43.5m, but would have to break the world transfer record to land the forward.
