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. Recently, he has been rumored to be one of Paris Saint-Germain’s concrete leads for the mercato. AS and Marca report this Wednesday that Real Madrid are struggling to overtake PSG.
“Real Madrid counter-attack for Franco Mastuantono!
Real Madrid have travelled to the Argentinian capital to try and recruit him. Juni Calafat is doing all he can to turn the situation around, with the player’s approval in mind.
PSG are also doing their utmost…”
Mastantuono is a very talented player, and a certain battle between the big European clubs is not surprising. PSG and Real Madrid in particular are used to battling it out on the pitch and at the mercato.
But nothing is certain either. We’re all familiar with this period, with its many rumours and difficult discussions, as well as the interplay of the media, entourages and clubs. The Argentinian seemed close to Paris a short while ago, but it’s a little less clear today. And a new surprise is possible. That’s why we’re still waiting for something concrete to be certain.
