Bernardo Silva has expressed a wish to see Kylian Mbappe join him at Manchester City.
Silva moved to the Etihad for £43m in May and the 22-year-old midfielder wants teenager Mbappe to follow him to Manchester from Monaco.
The 18-year-old striker has been valued at £180m, with Real Madrid and Barcelona also chasing his signature.
Silva said: "Mbappe is a great player. I would love to have him here. That is for City to decide, but you never know.
"Mbappe can be a superstar. In fact, I think he is already a little bit of a superstar. He can be one of the best in the world very soon.
"It is perfect to have someone like him when you're a midfield player because he is very fast, very clever and a good finisher. It's crazy to think he is only 18."
As for his possible transfer, Monaco's vice-president Vadim Vasilyev added: "Mbappe will make the right decision. He has never expressed a wish to leave us.
"We are, however, in conversation with him and contrary to what you may have seen, it is not simply a case of money.
"It's more complicated than that. The player needs to move for the sake of sporting reasons."
