Franco Mastantuono, 18-year-old Argentine forward, will leave Real Madrid on loan this summer transfer window, as we reported a few months ago on Fichajes.net. The White Club has already made the decision, and the player has not been included in the squad list for this weekend's friendly, a move that confirms his imminent departure.

The intention of Real Madrid is for Mastantuono to continue his development at a European team. A return to River Plate has been ruled out, and Italy is the most likely destination for the Argentine international, with several Serie A clubs closely monitoring his situation.

Franco Mastantuono not included in Real Madrid squad

The absence of Franco Mastantuono in the latest squad list of Real Madrid is not due to a physical issue. The club believes that his departure is imminent and, for that reason, he will not be part of the group for the upcoming preseason match.

This decision comes after a season with little playing time. The Argentine played 35 official matches, clocking 1,484 minutes, scoring 3 goals, and not providing any assists, prompting the club to seek a loan to give him more playing opportunities.

Real Madrid's plan involves a straightforward loan without a purchase option. The club has full confidence in the player's potential and does not consider a permanent transfer in this transfer window.

Italy gaining strength as Franco Mastantuono's destination

The priority for Real Madrid is for Franco Mastantuono to continue growing in a top European league. In this scenario, Italy has taken the lead due to the interest from several Serie A clubs.

Among the teams tracking the forward are Fiorentina, Roma, and Milan, all attentive to a loan deal. A return to River Plate is not in the plans for both the player and the Madrid club.

Playing in Italy would also allow the Argentine to have consistent playing time in a top-level competition without severing ties with Real Madrid, who has a contract with the player until 2031.

The loan aims to accelerate the growth of the Argentine

Real Madrid's decision is a response to excessive competition in the squad. The summer signings and the presence of established players further limited Franco Mastantuono's chances of getting minutes in the 2026-27 season.

The next step will be to determine the player's final destination. With the squad list already confirmed without his presence and the club's preference for an experience in Italy or another European league, the announcement of the loan could happen in the coming days. Real Madrid aims to close the deal before the official start of the season so that Franco Mastantuono can join his new team as soon as possible.
