Former Barcelona and Monaco ace Ludovic Giuly has claimed that the sky is the limit for hot prospect Kylian Mbappe and insisted that he will not be sold during the summer.
Now working in an executive role at the Stade Louis II, Giuly has had a close up view of the youngster's development and is very impressed with what he has witnessed.
The 40-year-old was also pleased when sharing his thoughts on the Champions League draw, which paired Monaco, who once reached the final with Giuly in their ranks, with Italian champions Juventus.
"There is no limit to Mbappe's ability, he can go as far as he wants and I don't know how high he will go but next season, he will still be at Monaco," Giuly told reporters in Nyon.
"In the Champions League, we are living a dream and we hope that it will end happily. We know the difficulty of an opponent like Juve but we have a good chance of reaching the final.
"I think that the best four teams are in the semi-final and we are confident in our chances of advancing. We have the talent and the team to win this.
"Of course, it should be a Juve-Real Madrid final but we will fight until the end to make sure that isn't the case."
Giuly, who starred for Barcelona for three years and won a Champions League title during his time at the Camp Nou, also explained that he is looking forward to cheering on his former club in Sunday's Clasico but isn't overly confident in their chances.
"Barcelona aren't quite right at the moment and although I'd like them to win, I think it will be very tough," the former Roma star added.
"It is a game that everybody wants to play in. It is the best in the world and it can help Barcelona get back on track but I have my doubts.
"The favourites will certainly be Real Madrid but I want Barcelona to win."
