There is no longer much doubt, Franco Mastantuono is about to leave the Spanish capital, at least for a given period. Indeed, in recent weeks, the Spanish press indicated that Real Madrid was more determined than ever to lend its 18-year-old nugget. Lacking playing time last season, the Argentinian – starting this Friday for the first friendly match at Casa Blanca against AlcorcĂłn (he caused a missed penalty by GĂĽler) – should therefore continue his progress away from the White House.
After a lackluster first year with the Merengues (35 appearances in all competitions, 3 goals and 1 assist), the native of Azul has no shortage of courtiers. Announced in the sights of Inter and River Plate, the Argentinian also had a courtier… in Ligue 1 with Stade Rennais. But that’s not all since Sporting CP, Benfica, Tottenham, Fulham and Villarreal were also on the lookout.
Mastantuono coveted everywhere!
A list which grew a little longer this Friday. According to the latest information from SportFiorentina – which is coming out of a very complicated season with a 15th place in Serie A – is also interested in the idea of ​​relaunching the Argentinian international with 4 selections. In search of offensive profiles, the Viola considers his arrival as a very good opportunity, especially since the person concerned has Italian nationality and would therefore not occupy a place outside the EU.
While Real Madrid only wants a loan, without a purchase option, so as not to lose control of its crack, the Italian club also meets the conditions set by Madrid management. It now remains to be seen whether La Viola – who will challenge Real on August 1 in a friendly match and will therefore have the opportunity to advance their pawns – will manage to overtake the fierce competition.
