Franco Mastantuono has already reached an agreement with Real Madrid that ties him to the club until 2031, but it is still pending for River Plate and the Spanish club to define when his arrival will be made official. The young Argentine talent, who recently made his debut with the senior national team, is experiencing one of the most important moments of his career.

The midfielder is only 17 years old and is already the youngest debutant with Argentina in an official match, a fact that highlights his great potential. However, although Madrid is ready to incorporate him, River wants him to stay at least until December to continue having him for the Copa Libertadores and other important commitments.

From Real Madrid's side, they aim for Mastantuono to join the team in August, just after the young player turns 18 and before the start of LaLiga, which begins in the middle of that month. The club wants the adaptation to be at an ideal moment, without pressure, and they have confidence in his potential.

PSG tried to sign him but could not close the deal.

The interest in Mastantuono has not only come from Real Madrid. Paris Saint-Germain also tried to sign him and sent their executives to Argentina to reach an agreement. However, the player demanded guarantees of playing time, something PSG could not offer, which resulted in the negotiations not progressing much.

Juni Calafat, Real Madrid's international football director and responsible for recent major signings, has been working on this operation for over a year. He considers Mastantuono an exceptional talent, a "genius" in his own words, and is convinced that his arrival will be a success for the club.

River's president, Jorge Brito, insists that Mastantuono should stay with them until after the Copa Libertadores, scheduled for late November. But with the agreement signed and negotiations ongoing, the player's future is decided; only the timing of the transition remains to be defined.

Mastantuono's release clause is 45 million euros, and Real Madrid prefers not to trigger it to avoid tax complications, seeking a direct deal with River that allows for installment payments. Therefore, although the young player knows he will play in Madrid, the exact timing is still to be confirmed.
