Perez said the following on Mbappe: "I've seen very little of Mbappe, I know he's 18, a very good player, but for the moment he's a Monaco player".
The 18-year-old French global has taken European football by storm in the season just gone and consequently been linked with a host of clubs across the continent.
Even though the likes of big clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United are in the race for his signing, Trezeguet believes that it is not the ideal time for the teenager to take the next step in his career.
"We are following him, of course".
"We weren't on the edge of signing him, because of his age".

I felt like some of those issues I was having for a long time were still there, and I just wasn't feeling great with my game. I was always coming in, trying to sign in, and here I am in the draw.
One of those is the Champions League holders, with Perez revealing that manager Zinedine Zidane is a long-time admirer, as well as their interest in acquiring his signature.
Going to Real Madrid at a tender age where players are already developed will be hard and could delay Mbappe's progression.
"We haven't spoken to De Gea", Perez told Spanish radio station OndaCero.
Monaco's teenage sensation and France worldwide Mbappe has been linked with a big-money move to Madrid among other European clubs following a breakout campaign, which yielded 26 goals in all competitions.
"Donnarumma? Everyone in the world says he's a great player, who will replace Buffon in the national team", Perez added. But Mbappe opted to continue his development in the principality, a decision that has proven correct.
According to reports, Monaco have already turned down world record transfer offers from Real Madrid and Arsenal.
