Real Madrid and PSG Locked in Race for Franco Mastantuono

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are both trying to sign River Plate teenager Franco Mastantuono. The talented Argentine is one of the top young players in South American football. He is attracting interest from Europe’s biggest clubs.

BATTLE HEATS UP FOR RIVER PLATE’S YOUNG STAR

PSG have been working on a deal for several days, reaching advanced talks. However, no agreement has been signed yet. Now, Real Madrid are in the race, sending senior scouts to Argentina and negotiating with his team. PSG are currently favourites to land Mastantuono, but Real Madrid are trying hard. They are preparing a bid of about €40-45 million to activate his release clause.

WHY MASTANTUONO IS IN DEMAND

Mastantuono, 17, has made a big impact for River Plate since debuting at 16. He is an attacking midfielder and has already earned a call-up to Argentina’s senior squad, showing his progress. This season, he has played key minutes for River Plate as they challenge for the Argentine title. River Plate are top of the league, with Mastantuono playing a key creative role.

WHAT COMES NEXT IN THE TRANSFER SAGA?

Both clubs want to reach an agreement before others join the chase. PSG are defending their Ligue 1 title and want to strengthen their squad, especially for European competition. Real Madrid, fresh off a Champions League win and a La Liga title, are determined to avoid missing out after previous successes with South American talents. This transfer battle may be decided in the coming days as both push to secure Mastantuono. River Plate’s next game is crucial in the title race, and losing Mastantuono mid-season could affect their momentum.
