Real Madrid is looking for a way out for Franco Mastantuono.

Real Madrid does not count on Franco Mastantuono for the next season, by decision of José Mourinho, but they do not want to lose him permanently because he has great potential, and they plan to repeat the "Nico Paz formula."

Concha Espina's offices, under the strict guidelines of their new technical director, José Mourinho, have defined the roadmap for the squad, concluding that the young forward will not be part of the first team's immediate plans.

However, the leadership at Valdebebas vehemently refuses to lose definitive control over the federative rights of the promising South American footballer. For this reason, the sports management led by Florentino Pérez aims to implement an international exposure strategy that has already yielded extraordinary results in Italian football, ensuring the player's tactical maturation in a high-demand European environment.

Franco Mastantuono is not in José Mourinho's plans

The decision to temporarily sideline Franco Mastantuono is solely based on the analytical criteria of the Portuguese strategist, who prefers players with more experience in elite football for his immediate setup. The dynamic Argentine winger has had a particularly dull end to the season after barely featuring under Álvaro Arbeloa in the decisive phase of the youth championship, an inactivity that hastened the need for a constructive change of scenery.

Far from viewing this strategic move negatively, the player himself enthusiastically embraces the opportunity to temporarily move to Serie A, understanding that regular competition in Italy will be key to enhancing his strengths and eventually securing a permanent place in Real Madrid's first team.

The Nico Paz formula for Franco Mastantuono

The board at Real Madrid aims to meticulously replicate the successful development plan carried out with Nico Paz, an attacking midfielder who was loaned to Como for a couple of seasons under Cesc Fàbregas's guidance. The performance of the Spanish-Argentine midfielder in northern Italy has been truly outstanding, establishing himself as the undisputed leader of a humble squad that made history this year by clinching their unprecedented qualification for the UEFA Champions League.

After witnessing this meteoric growth, the top Madrid executives have ordered Paz's immediate return to the Santiago Bernabéu to permanently integrate into the first team rotation, a reality that motivates Franco Mastantuono, who aspires to follow the same path of football redemption in the Italian territory.

Formal negotiations between both institutions from the Iberian Peninsula and Italy will officially speed up in the coming summer days of June. The club's leadership believes that Fàbregas's team represents the ideal environment for the talented winger to showcase his skills, flair, and tactical understanding, all while enjoying the immense spotlight of competing in the top continental club competition.

Valdebebas executives will structure a loan for two consecutive seasons, incorporating control clauses to ensure constant monitoring of his competitive development before his definitive return to Spain.

The upcoming weeks of this summer market will be crucial to finalize the contractual details of a loan that fully satisfies the needs of all involved parties in the Madrid ecosystem. The club's technical department prioritizes safeguarding the club's assets while meeting the demanding requirements of rigor and experience imposed by their new head coach.

With the Nico Paz formula as an absolute guarantee of success and the complete willingness of the player's environment to join the ambitious breakthrough project in Serie A, Real Madrid will close this strategic loan deal to ensure that their young star returns with the necessary maturity to shine in Chamartín.
