Real Madrid’s Juni Calafat has travelled to Spain to finalise a deal with Franco Mastantuono, a midfielder from River Plate, after agreeing personal terms with the player. The club is now working to seal the agreement with River Plate, with negotiations reportedly focusing on the structure of the clause. According to the latest developments, Mastantuono, who is a left-footed attacking midfielder, had a positive conversation with former Real Madrid player Xabi Alonso, which suggests he is keen on joining the Spanish giants. Mastantuono has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for some time, with the club having been in talks with River Plate over the transfer since May 2024. The deal is expected to be a long-term one, although the exact duration has not been disclosed. With PSG also reportedly interested in signing Mastantuono, Real Madrid appear to have taken the lead in the transfer battle, with Calafat having made the trip to Spain to push the deal through.
