Franco Mastantuono, Argentine forward 18 years old, has the green light to no longer be a player of Real Madrid through a loan during this summer transfer window. The operation will not include a purchase option, and more than five Spanish and foreign clubs have already inquired about his conditions.

The decision will allow the player to accumulate minutes during the 2026/27 season without the white team losing control over his future. Mastantuono's contract runs until June 30, 2031, so the club will only consider a temporary exit.

Franco Mastantuono given permission to go out on loan

According to information from Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is ready to authorize the loan of Franco Mastantuono when a destination that ensures continuity arises. The arrangement will be a direct loan, without a purchase option or mechanism that allows the new club to retain his rights.

The stance is a response to the investment made in the summer of 2025. The club paid 45 million euros corresponding to his release clause in River Plate, and the operation reached 63.2 million euros when adding taxes and other costs.

Mastantuono completed his first season with 34 matches and three goals in all competitions. In LaLiga, he played 23 games but lost significance during the latter part of the season, going 19 consecutive game rounds without being part of the starting lineup.

The reduction in playing time left the Argentine out of the World Cup and led the club to review its planning. The purpose of the loan is for him to play a season with more continuity before returning to a squad where he has a contract for another five years.

José Mourinho agrees to a deal similar to Endrick's

José Mourinho has evaluated the player during the preseason and is not opposed to his temporary departure. The competition in offensive positions makes it difficult for Mastantuono to get the necessary minutes to continue adapting to European football.

The situation is akin to what was done with Endrick in January. The Brazilian striker left Madrid on loan without a purchase option, a structure that allowed the club to retain his rights while the player sought continuity away from the team.

The coaching staff aims to prevent Mastantuono from having another season with irregular participation. His natural position lies between the attacking midfield and the right wing, two areas where José Mourinho currently has several alternatives.

More than five clubs inquire about his loan

The availability of Franco Mastantuono has sparked interest from LaLiga and other European leagues. Real Betis, Villarreal, Real Sociedad, Juventus, and Fulham have been linked with a possible loan in recent weeks.

The decision on a destination will prioritize playing time and appropriate competitive surroundings. Staying in Spain would facilitate his adaptation and allow for direct monitoring, although the club does not rule out a proposal from abroad.

The choice will not solely depend on the team's reputation. Real Madrid will analyze the sporting role offered, the coach's system, and the expected participation before agreeing to an operation for the upcoming season.

The next step will be to narrow down the candidates' list and agree on the loan conditions. Franco Mastantuono will continue to work with José Mourinho until the club selects a destination that allows him to compete regularly in the 2026/27 season.
