Real Madrid Are In The Race For 17-Year-Old Argentine Talent: Will He Be A Good Signing? | OneFootball

Real Madrid have had one of their worst seasons this time around. They lost the final of the Supercopa de España and the Copa del Rey to their bitter rivals FC Barcelona and are also trailing in La Liga to them by four points. The Los Blancos were also knocked out of the UEFA Champions League in the quarterfinals.

Their overall gameplay has been very poor, and much of that has been due to the lack of creativity in the midfield. Toni Kroos was the master who ran the show in the midfield, and after his retirement, Los Blancos have struggled to elevate their game in the midfield. Hence, Real Madrid do need a profile who can replicate what Kroos did for them.

Real Madrid Want To Sign Franco Mastantuono

According to a report by Italian outlet Inter Live, Real Madrid are one of the clubs that are interested in signing Franco Mastantuono in the summer transfer window. The 17-year-old has been a standout talent in Argentina and has attracted the attention of Chelsea, Manchester United, and Inter Milan as well.

The player has a release clause of €40 million in his contract, and money is definitely not a problem for Los Blancos. Moreover, they are the greatest club in football history, and hence if they come with their full force for the 17-year-old’s signature, the midfielder will definitely choose them over other competitors.

Will he be a good signing?

Franco Mastantuono, just 17, is already turning heads with his mature and intelligent style of play. As an attacking midfielder, he combines sharp vision, crisp passing, and smooth, graceful dribbling that sets him apart. He reads the game like a seasoned pro, using his awareness and a powerful left foot to create and finish chances. Confident and composed under pressure, Mastantuono thrives in tight spaces and plays a key role in driving River Plate’s attack.

Real Madrid would be wise to move for Mastantuono now. His creative flair and football intelligence mirror the qualities Madrid have embraced in young stars like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo. While his release clause may be steep, his potential makes it a worthy investment. Following a similar approach to the Endrick deal could secure the future of Madrid’s midfield for years to come.
