Mastantuono – Agreement with Real Madrid!

Florentino Perez decided to step on the gas pedal with Franco Mastantuono, the “pearl” of River Plate, only 16 years old, who will become a figure. How could you know SPORTReal Madrid blocked the contract of a millionaire with whom an agreement on salary was reached.

The next step, now final, is the finalization of the transfer price with River Plate.which has so far demanded that the Whites and Premier League clubs knocking on its door pay a €45 million release clause following the latest update to its youth squad in April.

At the beginning of May, SPORT already reported that Madrid took the lead in negotiations to close the millionaire’s contract. First, Juni Calafathead of the scouting department of the white club, during his trip to Buenos Aires, and then Jose Angel Sanchezclub general director and executive body Florentino Perez, held meetings with River Plate leaders. During these meetings, it was noted that both sides had reached some agreement.

Champions League final controversy, arrival announcement Design and sports planning for the next season, in which Carlo Ancelotti can count on a more significant strengthening, they have delayed an agreement between the two clubs.

Madrid, however, took advantage of this impasse to lock the player and close their salary base.. The decision was made taking into account the behind-the-scenes movements of several English clubs who were very is interested in “Mastan”, a midfielder with an educated left foot, capable of playing both on the flank and as a creative midfielder or second striker.

The next step is to close the transfer between the clubs. Beyond the fixed and variable, it will be necessary to determine when Mastantuono will move to Madrid.will it be in August 2025, when he turns 18, or will he remain with the team he currently manages for some time? Martin Demichelis.

The signing of Mastantuono, which everything indicates will be completed soon, is a new blow to the Merengue’s authority in South America. Florentino Perez remains steadfast in his tactics to attract talent in the strategic continent.

It all started in 2017 with Vinicius Jr. who was signed from Flamengo thinking he could become the “new Neymar Jr.”

Florentine continued with Rodrigo the following year (he did not spend another 60 “kilos” on a striker who played in the same starting position as Vini); then with Rainier, was hired from Flamengo in 2020 for 30 million euros and has now become an absolute economic and sporting failure.

His last foray into Brazil Endrickwho will arrive at the Bernabeu in July after the America’s Cup, when he will be 18 years old, as a result of an operation that closed in December 2022, costing up to 72 million euros.

As for Mastantuono, Barça remained out of the game due to difficulties with financial fair play and wages. The current situation does not allow the Blaugranas to make moves of this magnitude regarding players who will only arrive in 2025 or 2026. The technical department is very pleased with River’s involvement, as SPORT revealed in February. He is a precocious footballer whose quality is undoubtedly superior. Barça’s average and profile, but it was not possible to enter their rate.
