Sergio Ramos has opened the door for Kylian Mbappe to join Real Madrid, saying the club would welcome the Monaco sensation with "all the affection".

Mbappe, 18, has roared onto the scene in 2017, firing six goals in his last four club outings and helping the Ligue 1 leaders oust Manchester City in the Champions League.
Monaco have a collection of promising young talent at their disposal, with Mbappe backed up by Bernardo Silva, Thomas Lemar and Tiemoue Bakayoko, with Europe’s top clubs monitoring them ahead of the summer window.
Real are reportedly weighing up a move for Mbappe, with Ramos doing little to dampen the speculation.

"I do not call the president [Florentino Perez] to consult me about signings, but the gates of Real Madrid are always open for the best players," Ramos said ahead of Spain's friendly against France on Tuesday.
If you come to Madrid Mbappe, we will welcome you with all the affection as we always do with the new players who arrive.
"But right now it's a lack respect for those in the squad to get us talking about others who are not from the club."
Mbappe was rewarded with his first senior international cap on Saturday, coming off the bench during France’s 3-1 win over Luxembourg.
