This summer, Real Madrid has already succeeded in its transfer window since it managed to finally afford Kylian Mbappé until 2029, as well as the Brazilian nugget Endrick (17 years old) until 2027, with the possibility of extending the contract until 2030. But the recent winner of the Champions League does not intend to stop there. In addition to the Frenchman and the Brazilian, Real Madrid would be on the verge of enlisting a new talent… from Argentina, this time.
According to information from Sport, Florentino Pérez decided to take action to enlist the young Franco Mastantuono (16 years old), presented as a jewel of River Plate from Argentina, on the verge of becoming a big star. And the Catalan daily reveals that the Merengue club has already reached an agreement with the Argentine midfielder, who had been in its sights for several months. Both parties agree on the salary issue, but everything is not yet done.
Real in competition with the Premier League
Real Madrid have already been in negotiations for some time with the leaders of River Plate to offer him. But Casa Blanca must still find a new agreement with Millonario for the amount of the transfer, he who has a release clause of 45 million euros. Additionally, Real Madrid are keen to complete this deal quickly due to some interest from several Premier League clubs around the midfielder.
Already the author of two goals and an assist in 18 games with River Plate, Franco Mastantuono is a midfielder with a versatile left foot, capable of playing on the wing, as a creative midfielder or as a second striker. Beyond the fixed price and the variables, Real Madrid will also have to agree on the arrival date of the player, who cannot leave his club before he reaches the age of majority. Like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Reiner and Endrick, the Spanish Champion is about to strike a new blow with a young talent from South America.
