La Liga
Real Madrid has decided to allow the loan exit of Franco Mastantuono, an 18-year-old winger, during this summer. Real Madrid's transfer market depends on the departure of the Argentine to close new offensive reinforcements.
The Madrid club seeks to negotiate a simple loan for one season, categorically rejecting the inclusion of any purchase option for a player with a contract signed in Chamartín until June 2031, whose market value on Transfermarkt reaches €45.00 million.

Mastantuono is not in Real Madrid's plans
Real Madrid's new coach, José Mourinho, has formally advised the attacker to seek a new temporary destination to ensure continuity that he will not have in the first team during the 2026/2027 season. In the last LaLiga season, the player recorded 23 matches and 1 goal scored, considered insufficient figures for his progression after landing in the Spanish capital in August 2025 from River Plate for €45 million.
As confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid's top brass refuse to lose control over the Argentine international, who has already accumulated 4 matches with his country's national team. The board's intention is to structure a paid loan that allows him to gain competitive experience to return in the summer of 2027 as an established piece within the official rotation.
Bidding war for the Argentine: Como, Sporting CP, Real Sociedad, Juventus, Inter Milan, Fulham, and Fiorentina
Juventus has had direct contacts after receiving the player's offer in Turin, while Fiorentina seeks to expedite procedures through their sporting director, Fabio Paratici. Additionally, Como in Italy has formally presented its candidacy to host the South American youth academy product, joining the ongoing pursuit by Inter Milan in Italian football.
Meanwhile, Fulham has started advanced negotiations to move the winger to the Premier League, relying on the mediation of Álvaro Arbeloa to persuade the player's entourage. In the Iberian landscape, Real Sociedad and Villarreal have inquired about the loan conditions in Spain, while in the Portuguese league, Sporting CP and Benfica are considering assuming his entire salary to finalize the transfer in the coming weeks.
Next steps to finalize Mastantuono's exit
Real Madrid's sports management will select the definitive offer before the end of the preseason in the last days of July 2026.
The club will choose the proposal from Como, Sporting CP, Real Sociedad, Juventus, Inter Milan, Fulham, or Fiorentina that signs a contract guaranteeing a minimum percentage of playing time to ensure the attacker's development.
