Real Madrid is one step away from winning the 'race' against City for the great Argentine 'jewel'

The Real Madrid is to a step to concretise the arrival of a new promise sudamericana to Santiago Bernabéu. And it is that the merengues could have arrived to an agreement with River Plate to close the signing of Franco Mastantuono. The vice-president of the entity porteña, Ignacio Villarroel, was in the Spanish capital and kept a meeting with José Ángel Sánchez, general director of the white group and arm executor of Florentino Pérez, in which ultimaron the operation of the footballer.

Both clubs seem to have approached postures and the landing of the mediocentro of 16 to Chamartín would be when falling. The 'jewel' Argentinian, that was the big disclosure of the 2024 in the football albiceleste, has left to see through his social networks his predilection by the entity madridista, evidenciando this preference with a 'likes me' to a photography in Instagram the day that Kylian Mbappé was presented like the last galactic signing of the vikingos.

As 'SPORT', the White House already would have an agreement salarial closed with the player. The 'intromisión' of the Manchester City in the operation generated that from the Walk of the Castellana accelerated an operation whose final would be just around the corner. The whites pretend to concretise the incorporation of Franco the fastest possible, although the footballer would land in the capital, as prompt, next summer.

Mastantuono Has Italian passport, by what will not occupy a vacancy of non-EU when of the jump to the European football, saving him a 'headache' to the Madrid. Nevertheless, the 15 times champions of the Champions League would bet by the continuity of the footballer in River, like minimum, until the season 2025/2026 not to brake his progression. A tactics that has used with other young values sudamericanos like Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and, more recently, Endrick.

The 'threat' of the City follows latent

In Santiago Bernabéu no 'fían' of the Manchester City, that is the another big European that has put looks it in Franco. By this reason, the club pretends to close the operation with speed to avoid an unexpected twist in the agreement. Stage that repeated in 2022, when Chelsea 'loomed' with 'steal' to Endrick. Finally, the 'menino prodigio' finished putting course to the capital, where that Mastantuono fulfil the same destination.
