Franco Mastantuono, one of the most promising talents recently emerged in Argentine football, has made a decision that defines his medium-term future: he will not leave River Plate for now and wants to wait for Real Madrid until the summer of 2026. Despite concrete interest shown by clubs like Manchester United and Olympique de Marseille to incorporate him soon, the 17-year-old young talent is clear about his roadmap and is not willing to alter it.

The attacking midfielder has been one of the standout performers of the season in Núñez, gaining prominence with outstanding performances and leaving encouraging numbers for his young age. But beyond his performance, what stands out the most is his maturity in facing important decisions. Mastantuono has expressed gratitude for the European approaches but remains firm in his goal to establish himself in River, win the Libertadores, and compete in the Club World Cup before heading to the old continent.

Mastantuono wants to wait for Real Madrid

With a contract valid until the end of 2026, the player's circle understands that there is no rush to determine his departure. In fact, they have conveyed that Real Madrid remains the most enticing project for him, hence the waiting is part of a strategy designed to reach Europe at the right moment.

Madrid's interest is not new, and although there is no closed agreement yet, the player's stance favors the Spanish team. In just 13 matches with the first team, Mastantuono has scored four goals and provided two assists, proving he has the level to shine in more challenging scenarios. His desire to wait patiently could make him a strategic signing in the 2026 future market.
