Premier League
The Chelsea has shown a strong interest in Franco Mastantuono, a young promise from River Plate, and is prepared to pay the 45 million euros of his buyout clause. The attacking midfielder, considered one of the biggest gems in Argentine football, has caught the attention of several European clubs, but the Blues seem to be leading the race for his signing.
The talent of the 17-year-old player has not gone unnoticed in the international market. Mastantuono, who is already a prominent figure in Marcelo Gallardo's team, has aroused the interest of clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City. However, Chelsea, with its policy of investing in young promises, is willing to outshine the competition to secure the Argentine prodigy.
Chelsea Wants Mastantuono
The London club seems determined to close the deal in January, taking advantage of the fact that the South American market is usually more dynamic during that period. Although the player could not join immediately due to regulations that prevent international transfers before turning 18, this move would ensure that Mastantuono remains at River Plate until the summer.
From River Plate, coach Marcelo Gallardo is aware of the impact that the midfielder's departure could have, but also knows that an operation of this magnitude would be beneficial for the club's finances. For Chelsea, this acquisition would be another sign of its ambition to build a solid future, adding Mastantuono to a list of young talents who are already part of its squad.
