Sergio Ramos says France wonderkid Kylian Mbappe will always be welcome at Real Madrid as the Monaco striker continues to be linked with a move to the Bernabeu.
The 18-year-old is one of the hottest properties in Europe and is being lined with summer moves to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.
The Monaco star made his international debut for France in the win over Luxembourg last week after scoring 19 goals this season.
And Ramos says that a player of Mbappe's ability will always be welcome in Madrid, he said: "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 international 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."
