The Real Madrid directive has decided to speed up the movements to secure the signing of Franco Mastantuono, the great promise of River Plate. The white club does not want to miss the opportunity to incorporate one of the most coveted talents in South American football and is looking to get ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, which has been in talks with the Argentinean youngster's circle for weeks.
Mastantuono, only 17 years old, is going through a special moment in his career: he has been called up by the Argentine national team for the double matchday of the South American Qualifiers against Chile and Colombia, confirming the support he has both in local football and in the Albiceleste. His emergence has caught the attention of several European giants, but now everything points to a battle between Madrid and Paris.
Real Madrid Doesn't Give Up on Franco Mastantuono
Concrete steps have already been taken from the Spanish capital. Journalist Siro López asserts that Real Madrid has made the decision to push forward firmly, aware of PSG's interest and the need to act swiftly. Although River demands the full payment of his release clause, close to 45 million dollars, the white club is willing to compete for the signing.
Despite the buzz generated by European interest, River remains calm. The club's intention is to retain the player, at least until the end of the year, a move supported by his age: Mastantuono will turn 18 in August, giving them some room to negotiate with more control.
While PSG and Real Madrid make their moves, the young forward continues his development, now also wearing the national team's shirt. His destiny seems to be in Europe, but the final decision is still to be written.
