More specifically on the Argentinian star Franco Mastantuono. Author of a masterful free kick which allowed El Millionario to win the match on Sunday evening, the River Plate nugget reminded everyone of his qualities.
Including Santi Solari, Real Madrid’s sporting director, who is leading the negotiations for Mastantuono. Diario AS reports that after rejecting an initial offer of €20 million plus variables, Real Madrid have made a proposal of €25 million.

This information is confirmed by Sport, which specifies that the offer could include more variables, but that no agreement is imminent. The Whites do not want to pay his release clause of 45 million euros, having already obtained the green light for the left-footed player, but River hopes to set the record for a sale in Argentina, which is more than 30 million euros. Real Madrid also considers leaving Mastantuono at River for an additional year, since he will not turn 18 until August 2026.
Mastantuono was in the sights of Manchester City and Barcelona before Real Madrid opened negotiations with him. However, it seems that the Madridistas now have a free hand to negotiate with River, knowing that Mastantuono only wants to join the Santiago Bernabéu. That said, Leny Yoro’s move to Manchester United has reminded Real Madrid that no deal is done until the contracts are signed.
