It is anticipated that Franco Mastantuono will emerge as one of the most highly sought-after prospects during the next summer transfer window.
Despite the fact that he is currently playing for River Plate, Mastantuono is generally considered to be the next great thing in Argentine football. Real Madrid is one of the teams that is interested in acquiring his services.
In point of fact, the Spanish giants have made tremendous headway in their pursuit of Mastantuono, and according to reports, they are now in the lead over their fierce rivals with Barcelona in the hunt.
Competitors from the Chelsea club
An update on the future of Mastantuono was provided in a report that was published not too long ago by the Daily Briefing. The report also said that Chelsea has become the most recent club to join the pursuit of the player.
Based on the report, it seems that the Premier League heavyweights have also inquired about the prospect of signing the River Plate sensation over the summer that is to come.
Real Madrid is not the only European powerhouse that is prepared to fight with Chelsea in the battle to acquire Mastantuono. Other teams such as Barcelona, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in acquiring the services of the young player.
Mastantuono is solely considering a transfer to Real Madrid at present.
On the other hand, the story indicates that Mastantuono is not taking Chelsea’s interest at all seriously, which is a very positive development for Real Madrid.
The young Argentine player looks to have his heart set on a transfer to Santiago Bernabeu, and it appears that he is only considering joining Real Madrid or another club.
In contrast to Real Madrid’s other major acquisition, Endrick, Mastantuono is entitled to come to Europe this summer despite the fact that he is just 16 years old. This is because he has an Italian passport.
On the other hand, Los Blancos want to use the Endrick approach in the event that they are successful in their pursuit of Mastantuono. This means that the Argentine player could not go to Bernabeu until he reaches the age of 18.
