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. He was announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s concrete leads for the mercato. However, Real Madrid have recently taken the lead and, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, it’s all over.
There’s no doubt about it, this journalist wouldn’t make such an affirmative announcement at random. What’s more, all the media agree that Mastantuono has chosen Real Madrid. This may come as a disappointment, given that we’re talking about a talented player who would have loved to have grown up at PSG.
But that’s the way it is: it’s impossible to have every talented player. Everyone may have a different preference. Not to mention that we don’t know how much the Parisian club really wanted to recruit the Argentine. Perhaps we’ll know more soon.
