Paris Saint-Germain has taken a step forward to try to secure one of the most promising talents in South American football: Franco Mastantuono. At just 17 years old, the midfielder from River Plate has caught the attention of several European giants, and now the French club joins the battle for his signing, determined to outpace Real Madrid, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan.
Luis Enrique has given the green light to the move, seeking to incorporate the Argentine as an offensive alternative in a rebuilding squad. The idea at Parc des Princes is for Mastantuono to gradually gain minutes alongside names like Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola, and the young Desiré Doué. In addition, Luis Campos, responsible for the sports area, has already initiated contacts with the player's environment to explore the feasibility of the operation.
PSG Wants to Sign Franco Mastantuono
From Argentina, River has no intention of negotiating below the release clause, set at 45 million euros. The board of the Buenos Aires club has been clear: they will only let the attacking midfielder leave if that financial condition is met. Meanwhile, the player shows no rush and evaluates with caution the right moment to make the leap to the Old Continent.
In the case of Atletico Madrid, there is a detail that could tip the balance: the player's agent is Augusto Fernandez, a former Atletico player, which could facilitate conversations. However, the competition is fierce, and both the financial power of PSG and the allure of the Parisian project could weigh on the final decision.
The race for Mastantuono has begun, and everything points to a hectic summer for this raw diamond of Argentine football.
