Real Madrid is very close to the South American prodigy, surprisingly cheap
TinTheThao.com.vnAccording to MARCA, Real Madrid is about to sign young star Franco Mastantuono from River Plate.
Despite signing Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, Real Madrid is still diligently looking for other promising stars. According to MARCA, Real Madrid is very close to the signature of Franco Mastantuono from River Plate.
The two clubs have begun negotiations, with Real Madrid offering a price of 25 million euros for the young star who is being pursued by many teams in Europe.
Former Real Madrid player Santiago Solari is acting as a negotiator in this deal. Despite receiving better offers from other clubs, this young midfielder is still determined to join Real Madrid. It is known that Mastantuono’s contract release clause is about 45 million euros.
Meanwhile, Toni Kroos’ departure will pave the way for a potential new contract. Of course, at the age of 16, Mastantuono will need to develop for many more years to replace Kroos. But this approach has worked well for Real Madrid in the past, when it was successful in the Endrick deal.
It is likely that Real Madrid will let Mastantuono stay in Argentina for a few more years, even though he is eligible to play in La Liga at the age of 16.
