Franco Mastantuono, between recovering from the injury at River and being in the sights of a giant like Real Madrid

Peak hours are those surrounding the environment of Franco Mastantuonothe sixteen year old gem of River. It was he who raised the alarm during the tough defeat in the friendly against Independent Rivadavia when leaving the field with a muscle discomfort. And if something else is missing, rumors are relaunched from Europe that link to an alleged specific interest on the part real Madrid to try to convince him to wear white in a long-term project.

If there is something that characterizes Mastantuono’s debut as a professional footballer so far, it is precocity: He is the youngest player to win a title with Millonario and one of the youngest to score his first goal with the club. That’s why everyone was worried when the doctors started treating him on the reserves bench.

Fortunately for them, an encouraging prospect is what Martín Demichelis and associates have received: a slight strain on the left rectus femoriswhich will require a recovery not exceeding 15 days. All tokens They aim to see him again for River’s debut in the Copa Libertadoresagainst Deportivo Tachira in Venezuela, next April 2nd.

But just as things calmed down in River regarding the young man’s physical condition, A rebound effect has been generated from Europe which does not allow the Millionaire to sleep peacefully For a few days. The thing is Real Madrid’s sporting management begins to enter the scene a new seduction operation to stay with another promise who bursts onto the radar of football and aspires to catalyze the attention of the biggest teams on the Old Continent.

In the midst of the growing phenomenon of the export of young Argentine talents to Europe, while the team from the Spanish capital awaits the arrival of the young Brazilians Endrick from Palmeiras for half the year, Now I would have put Mastantuono as a priority for 2026. The fact is that the boy will only be able to land in Madrid when he reaches the age of majority.

Vinicius Junior AND Rodrygo These are the current cases that show Real Madrid’s work plan: ensure the hiring of young stars under the age of 18 to maximize your potential and refine your playing style to suit your needs.

The effectiveness of such a system led Manchester City to copy it Claudio little devil Echeverrilike Barcelona with the Brazilian Vittorio Rocco.

With this job Merengue would have already started working on the millionaire player polls. 2007 category, whose birthday is August 14th.

The Spanish newspaper reports it Brandin the last weeks, some leaders would travel to Brazil to talk to Endrick. In this sense, it seems that they took advantage of their stay on the continent to set foot on Argentine soil. and closely follow the player they target as a priority for the future.

Given the emergence of these rumorsRiver’s actions are no coincidence In the last week: He moved quickly and updated his pledge contract through 2026 -when he turns 18- add to termination clause of 45 million euros. In case there was any doubt about it, Núñez has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with the opening of negotiations for his player who has only played nine games in the First Division so far.

For now, all indications are that Real Madrid are trying to position themselves first in what they believe will be a long dispute between several European contenders. They trust their eye to spot the promise. And the sooner you proceed, you will completely reduce the risk of potential future regrets. Who was the last Argentine you gave up on signing? Giuliano Alvarez. The world champion’s transfer market, which brings good memories to the Juventus capital, has never been so good for Real Madrid.
