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 recently announced as a concrete target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer. However, Relevo and TyCSports confirm that Real Madrid have taken the lead in this dossier.
Directivos del Real Madrid han volado a Argentina para anticiparse al Paris Saint-Germain en la carrera por Franco Mastantuono.
El club francés se adelantó en las conversaciones y las negociaciones están avanzadas, pero el jugador ha bloqueado el traspaso por el momento porque…
“Real Madrid officials have travelled to Argentina to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the race for Franco Mastantuono.
The French club has taken the lead and negotiations are advanced, but the player has blocked the transfer for the time being because he wants to evaluate Real Madrid’s proposal.
Real Madrid want to move forward in the next few hours.
The player prefers the Spanish destination.”
🚨 Si bien PSG era el equipo que más interés había mostrado en Franco Mastantuono, en las últimas horas Real Madrid se metió en la pelea y hasta hubo una reunión en Buenos Aires por la joya de 17 años, que tiene una cláusula de salida de River tasada en 45 millones de euros. pic.twitter.com/5k1Ekih4rQ
““Although PSG were the team most interested in Franco Mastantuono, Real Madrid have entered the fray in recent hours and a meeting has even taken place in Buenos Aires for the 17-year-old jewel, whose release clause from River is valued at 45 million euros.”
It’s hard to have any doubts, given that all the media are in agreement about this turn of events. PSG seemed to be in a good position, but Real Madrid may have gone ahead with a very concrete interest. Nor can we rule out the possibility that Paris didn’t want to move forward, particularly as the Spanish club logically prevailed.
The mercato is always complicated, with difficult discussions and a “game” between agents and clubs. All you need is something concrete to be certain. In fact, this dossier could change completely. We should be able to see more clearly soon.
