Goodbye to Real Madrid, he has no place in the squad, and negotiations for his move to another European club are already underway.
The Argentine talent is no longer in the club’s plans, and negotiations for his transfer to another European team are underway.
During the past summer transfer window, Real Madrid was on the verge of signing Franco Mastantuono. The young Argentine footballer was seen as a potential future star on the global stage, and the club’s president was determined to bring him into the squad. However, recent reports on his development have not been as promising as initially expected.
Juni Calafat, Real Madrid’s chief scout for South America, has reportedly decided to withdraw from the deal. Mastantuono’s progress has not met expectations, as he has struggled to shine in River Plate’s first team compared to his initial breakthrough in professional football.
Real Madrid Drops Interest in Mastantuono
One of the key reasons Mastantuono did not join Real Madrid last summer was River Plate’s high asking price of €40 million. The Spanish giants were unwilling to meet that valuation and ultimately decided to step back from the negotiations. However, due to his recent underwhelming performances, his market value has started to decline.
According to ‘El Gol Digital,’ River Plate may now be willing to sell Mastantuono for around €20 million. While Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez could consider this new valuation, the final decision will rest with Juni Calafat. Current indications suggest that Mastantuono will not be wearing the famous white jersey.
A New European Destination Emerges
As Real Madrid’s interest in Mastantuono has waned, AC Milan has emerged as a strong contender for his signature. The Italian club, eager to rejuvenate its squad with young talents, has identified Mastantuono as a key player for its future project.
The Argentine midfielder has caught the attention of the Rossoneri, who see him as a vital component in their long-term plans. With Milan’s growing interest, Mastantuono’s future in European football could soon be decided away from the Spanish capital.
