Franco Mastantuono, a 17-year-old attacking midfielder under contract with River Plate until December 2026, is a new big talent in Argentinian football. He was a potential transfer prospect for Paris Saint-Germain. However, Real Madrid have launched a seemingly decisive attack. Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the deal is now almost complete.
This is the outcome that’s been emerging in recent hours, and this journalist isn’t usually so positive at random. The hope of a transfer to PSG is therefore almost over. We don’t even know if it ever really happened. There have only been rumors, without it being that close.
We’ll wait for official information to be certain; the transfer window can change quickly. But it would be a real surprise not to see Mastantuono sign for Real Madrid. We’d especially like to know more about the details of the last few days, whether or not Paris has made a real attempt.
In any case, there should be other players willing to sign in Paris, and there’s no cause for concern for the recent Champions League winner.
