Franco Mastantuono, a 17-year-old attacking midfielder under contract to River Plate until December 2026, is a new talent on the Argentine soccer scene. Lately, he has been rumored to be a concrete target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Corriere dello Sport and Argentinian media reports on Tuesday claim that PSG are set to settle the transfer by paying the player’s release clause. Even if the player won’t be arriving straight away.
As reported by several Argentine media, Franco Mastantuono has accepted PSG’s offer.
CorSport reports that PSG will activate the €45m purchase option.
In terms of departures, Napoli are very interested in Lee Kang-In, valued at €40m.
And
““PSG have made further progress for Mastantuono!”
The player will not accept an increase in the 45 million clause. River wants him until the end of the year.”
Mind you, there’s nothing official yet. But all the media are pointing in the same direction, with PSG already well on the way to recruiting Mastantuono. However, nothing is certain until it is confirmed by a club or the player.
We remain even more cautious about the exact price or timing of the Argentine’s arrival in the squad. Let’s wait until the transfer is certain, or almost. It’s not a done deal at the moment, as we know the mercato can change very quickly. But Paris could well recruit this very talented player.
