Raphael Varane insists France teammate Kylian Mbappe would thrive at Real Madrid.

The PSG striker continues to be linked with Real as he now lights up the World Cup. Varane is well aware of the speculation and says Mbappe would be welcome in Madrid.

Speaking after victory over Argentina, Varane said: "Kylian Mbappé will triumph in any team where he will go."

Real president Florentino Perez made an attempt to sign Mbappe last summer when he was still with AS Monaco.

Now on-loan with PSG, Mbappe's future remains clouded as there's doubts over whether a permanent deal can be triggered without violating UEFA's Financial Fair Play laws.
