The possibility that Franco Mastantuono will sooner or later join Real Madrid was strengthened this Monday with an announcement from the newspaper Marca. According to the media, an informative reference on the Juventus club, the body chaired by Florentino Pérez they want to assure the player River as soon as possible.
According to the article, signed by journalist José Felix Díaz, “the bet is firm and remains valid as a club strategy. Real Madrid is clear that the basis of the first team reinforcements must focus on players who still have a long way to go” . “Go, that is, young talents. This option gives the possibility to plan without the urgency of others. It is no coincidence to include players between 18 and 20 years old.”
In any case, it is made clear that the priority is to secure Leny Yoro, Lille’s 18-year-old French defender. But also that the club is willing to make an effort for Mastantuono, as it has already done with Endrick, of Palmeiras, who will be white next season, Vinicius and Rodrygo, players who arrived after the monitoring of the scouts who went to the South America to play the match. analyses.
River is calm: Mastantuono has already renewed his contract until 2026, which includes a release clause of 45 million euros, which rises to 50 if the purchase is completed ten days before the closing of the carnet.
Another reality is that this figure is normal for Real Madrid. For Yoro, in fact, it is expected to pay more than 100 million euros. Although in that case, given his age, he could also arrive for next season, and in the case of Franco, as in the case of Endrick, 17 years old, he would have to wait until he is 18, for legal reasons.
Mastantuono has already scored a goal for River, against Excursionistas for the Argentine Cup and became the youngest player in the club’s history to score.
