Franco Mastantuono has given Real Madrid the green light for a summer transfer, choosing the Spanish giants over Paris Saint-Germain to fulfil his Bernabéu dream.
The 17-year-old River Plate sensation made his decision after Real Madrid representatives flew to Argentina for crucial face-to-face talks. The teenager was reportedly won over by Madrid’s vision for his future and their impressive track record with young South American talent like Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo.
“Franco has always dreamed of playing for Real Madrid,” revealed a source close to the negotiations. “When they presented their plans during the Argentina visit, it became clear where his heart lies.”
Real Madrid are now working to negotiate directly with River Plate rather than paying his full release clause, hoping to secure a more favourable deal. However, PSG haven’t given up and remain ready to pounce if the Madrid talks hit any snags.
The attacking midfielder has impressed everyone at River Plate with his technical ability, vision, and maturity beyond his years. His performances in the first team have caught attention across Europe, making him one of Argentina’s most promising young talents.
With Mastantuono’s preference now clear, the focus shifts to finalising transfer details between Real Madrid and River Plate. Both clubs need to agree on valuation and payment terms before any official announcement can be made.
For Real Madrid fans, the prospect of another exciting South American talent joining their ranks is thrilling. Whether the teenager will be wearing the famous white shirt next season depends on how smoothly these final negotiations progress.
