If there is a club that can look to the future with optimism, it is Real Madrid. The Merengues have several of the best young players on the planet in their ranks, and have once again attracted a phenomenon in the form of Endrick this summer. A recruitment policy led by Juni Calafat, the club’s head of international recruitment, which we could see again during the presentation of the young Brazilian prodigy yesterday.
Real Madrid were hoping to sign Leny Yoro this summer and make a place for him in the medium to long term, but Manchester United were ultimately more forthcoming. A small failure for the Madrilenians, who lack a central defender to complete their squad. If the name of Aymeric Laporte often comes up in the Spanish media in recent days, the Merengues seem to have another priority, and it is not in defense.
Real Madrid has decided
As indicated ASit is on Franco Mastantuono (16 years old) that the efforts of the club from the Spanish capital are concentrated. The nugget of River Plate, an attacking midfielder with overflowing talent, is the next target of Real Madrid, who hope to be able to negotiate with the Argentinian club. The latter demands the payment of his release clause of 41.5 million euros, but would agree to receive this amount in several installments, which would suit the reigning Spanish and European champion.
The Argentinian is very popular with Real Madrid and especially with his compatriot Santiago Solari, the Madrid team’s football director. This is the former Madrid player and coach’s big bet, and everything indicates that negotiations will start fairly quickly, even if the player will have to wait until he is 18 before arriving in Madrid. The Madrid players are in pole position in this case, ahead of PSG and FC Barcelona.
