Los Blancos have struck again — and this time, it’s a blow straight to PSG’s ambitions. According to MARCA, Real Madrid have reached a full agreement with River Plate to sign Argentine teenage sensation Franco Mastantuono for his €45 million release clause, in a move that’s set to rock the summer transfer window!
💣 The deal, engineered by transfer mastermind Juni Calafat, was sealed in Buenos Aires after intense negotiations, with the fee paid across four structured installments to secure one of South America’s brightest attacking midfielders.
👀 PSG were circling, but Real Madrid moved fast — and with Xabi Alonso personally greenlighting the move, the 16-year-old starlet has now signed a six-year contract until 2031.
🔥 But there’s a twist: Despite the blockbuster signing, Mastantuono won’t join Madrid in time for the FIFA Club World Cup, as River Plate are desperate to keep him for their campaign. Madrid fans will have to wait — but the excitement is already exploding.
This marks Madrid’s third major signing this summer, following Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, and signals the start of a new youth revolution under Alonso’s reign.
The message is clear: Madrid aren’t just building for now — they’re locking down the future.
Is Mastantuono the next Di María… or the new Kaká? One thing’s certain — Europe just got a new name to fear. 💥👶⚽
