For several months, Franco Mastantuono has been one of the most scrutinized gems in Argentine football. Already important with River Plate, the young 17-year-old attacking midfielder is inevitably rated and several European clubs are already keen on the idea of attracting him to the Old Continent. For several months, it is Real Madrid who have been excited about the issue.
However, FC Barcelona is also on the case according to the latest information from Mundo Deportivo. The Catalan media goes further and even indicates that emissaries from the Catalan club were sent during River’s last meetings to observe the prowess of the young 17-year-old talent. The battle to recruit him therefore promises to be epic between the two behemoths of the Spanish championship.
