Franco Mastantuono, a 17-year-old attacking midfielder under contract to River Plate until December 2026, is a new talent in Argentine soccer. He has joined the long list of players rumored to be in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain. Germán García Grova of TyC Sports claims that the Parisian club has opened talks for the young Argentine. According to him, Mastantuono is a Parisian priority.
“PSG have opened talks for Franco Mastantuono.
PSG have made him a priority and expressed their interest in recruiting him.”
A highly technical, creative attacking midfielder who, according to sources, is very mature for his age, he could be the perfect target for PSG. Young, talented and with room for improvement, he fits into Luis Enrique’s roadmap. He has Italian nationality, which is a plus when it comes to recruitment.
His youth, the pressure on his shoulders and his still-visible defensive shortcomings are all points on which Luis Enrique can work and, above all, improve. His talent at set-pieces is also a real plus, but we’d point out that he’s young, that there’s still a long way to go and, above all, he’s not yet at PSG. This rumor fits, but that doesn’t mean PSG will have the last word.
