Argentine youngster Franco Mastantuono has undergone medical examinations as part of his planned move to Real Madrid. According to @CLMerlo, a formal contract until June 2031 is set to be signed shortly. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder will remain with his current club, River Plate, until August, participating in the Club World Cup before making the switch to the Spanish giants.
Mastantuono, who plays as an attacking midfielder, has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent weeks, with Paris Saint-Germain previously reported to be in the running for his signature. However, it appears that Real Madrid have secured the deal, with the player’s transfer being reported on multiple occasions in early June. The reports suggest that Mastantuono’s move to Real Madrid was the result of a transfer battle between the two clubs.
