Real Madrid reportedly held a crisis meeting on Monday night, amid reports in the Swedish media that Kylian Mbappe had been accused of rape and sexual harassment.
The French star - who denies the allegations - was visiting Sweden with friends from Wednesday to Friday last week, staying at the Bank Hotel in the city centre.
On Monday, Mbappe blasted a report from Aftonbladet as 'fake news' about an alleged rape at the hotel that took place on Thursday evening.
However, Swedish newspaper Expressen later claimed it is Mbappe who is being investigated by police after allegations were made against the Real Madrid star.
Mbappe had earlier that night visited the Chez Jolie restaurant, before heading to the V nightclub and finally back to his hotel in a black van with his entourage.
But Mbappe shared a newspaper article on the alleged rape on X on Monday and wrote: "Fake News! It's becoming so predictable, just before the hearing as if by chance," referring to a hearing as part of his fight against his former club PSG over £46million in unpaid wages and bonuses that is set to take place today.
Nevertheless, according to French journalist Romain Molina, Real held a crisis meeting surrounding the allegations on Monday evening.
The Spanish giants return to action on Saturday when they take on Celta Vigo in LaLiga and it remains to be seen whether Mbappe will be involved, although Real are yet to publicly comment on the matter.
Mail Sport subsequently contacted the club for comment in regards to Molina's claims.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Mbappe's entourage had told AFP in a statement: 'Today, a new slanderous rumour is starting to spread across the web from the Swedish media Aftonbladet.
'These accusations are completely false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable.
"In order to put an end to this methodical destruction of the image of Kylian Mbappe, all necessary legal actions will be taken to re-establish the truth and pursue any person or media involved in the moral harassment and defamatory treatment that Kylian Mbappe is suffering repeatedly," the statement added.
Investigators and a forensic unit were at the alleged crime scene on Monday, according to Aftonbladet.
The newspaper reported that the alarm over the alleged rape was raised when the woman 'sought care' at a local hospital.
Mbappe left Sweden's Bromma airport in a private jet on Friday.
The prosecutor in charge of the rape investigation declined to comment on the case, telling local media: "I will not say anything about this."
Stockholm police issued a similar statement to MailOnline via spokesperson Carina Skagerlind: "The police can neither confirm or deny such a case."
According to Aftonbladet, no suspects have been named in the case yet.
Elswhere, later on Monday, France boss Didier Deschamps broke his silence on the situation when speaking to reporters after Les Bleus' 2-1 win against Belgium.
Deschamps said the report 'is not a good thing for the national team' before he added: "Everyone is free to write what they want but there is a negative atmosphere ( around the French team)."
He then warned: "Be careful when you pick things up. You had better take a bit of a step back before publishing anything and everything, but these things happen so often," he said.
Deschamps added: "There are things that are not difficult to verify, but if you credit any old thing…"
"In any case I am not going to talk to him about it. He is big enough to know how to communicate."
Mbappe, who is France skipper, who was allowed to sit out the team's games this month in order to work on his fitness after picking up a hamstring injury a few weeks ago.
In total, he has scored seven goals in 11 appearances since joining Real Madrid in the summer.
