River Plate has become the suppliers of top talent who have come from Latin -America in recent years, with Julian Alvarez and Claudio Echeverri move to Manchester City. The next one to make a large switch switch can be Franco Mastantuono.
The 17-year-old has the core of a curious thing last year or so. A flurry from left to Real Madrid took place in 2024, in which several large points of sale claimed that Los Blancos had met Mastantuono, convinced him of a movement and even corresponded to the teenager. Since then it has been reported that Los Blancos will fall out of the race because they did not want to pay his release clause of € 50 million.
This August will be Mastantuono 18, making a move to Europe facilitated if he would like to do this. The path has become quiet with regard to Los Blancos, but Doble Amarilla says that scouts of Atletico Madrid in Buenos Aires were to watch Mastantuono in action against Rosario Central on Saturday. With Angel Correa who might leave this summer, and Antoine Griezmann might be on his way out, they say that Atletico would be willing to offer him around € 28 million.
Mastantuono played 90 minutes in 2-2 draw with Central, and Atletico believes that the number of Argentines in the Metropolitano and the presence of Diego Simeone could act as a key factor to convince the player. In the meantime, Sport refers to a report from DSports, also in Argentina, who say that Manchester City is interested in Mastantuono.
Atletico Madrid already has Julian Alvarez as the future center of their attack, but with the time of Griezmann at the top, and Rodrigo de Paul now in his thirty, Los Colchoneros will gladly ensure that Alvarez has creativity and service behind him. Moving to Mastantuono would now also give him the time to learn from Griezmann before he probably leaves at the end of his contract.
