Franco Mastantuono stands for a large career challenge after he has finally completed his transfer movement to join Real Madrid.
The expectation of the fan is high after the International International corresponded to a blockbuster transfer movement to be at Los Blancos of River Plate before the FIFA Club World Cup.
He stayed with his old team for the tournament, because he was not allowed to go to Real Madrid until his 18th birthday on August 14.
With the last paperwork that has now been completed, Mastantuono is immediately set up in the first team plans of Xabi Alonso, where injuries in midfield increase his chances of a Quickfire debut.
Despite the fanfare about his arrival in the Spanish capital, however, there is some criticism of his native country.
ESPN journalist Hernán Pereyra called the teenager to make the switch to Europe 'too fast' and claimed that it could be a disaster.
“He hurried on his departure, he was not ready, he is still very green,” according to quotes from Cadena Ser.
“He scored a great goal against Boca Juniors of a free kick and suddenly he is worth $ 50 million.
“There is no more sense of identity with these young players. He probably plays PlayStation with Real Madrid and fell in love with the team.
“I hope he has a great career, but don't let his feelings betray him because he loves Real Madrid.”
Real Madrid starts their season at Osasuna on August 19, after La Liga rejected their request to relocate the match, and Mastantuono will be involved.
Alonso is without Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga due to injuries and Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni and Dani Ceballos are expected to be his starting midfield.
Mastantuno should start on the couch, but Alonso has already indicated that he will not hesitate to throw him in the action as quickly as possible.
