Real Madrid stole PSG's dream: Madrid captured the new Messi!

The sensational transfer season in the world of football is in full swing. One of the most striking and controversial transfers of this time belongs to Real Madrid. The great Spanish team has officially decided on the transfer of the talented young star of River Plate Franco Mastantuono. This was reported by the famous insider journalist Nicolo Schira on his page on the social network.

As it turned out, the transfer of Mastantuono cost the "royal club" 45 million euros. This amount is a record high for a 17-year-old player. The contract between the young Argentine and Real Madrid is fully agreed in all respects and covers a long period - until 2031. This transfer is considered an important step in securing the future of the Madrid team.

Interestingly, earlier Franco Mastantuono was almost decided to move to Paris Saint-Germain. The French giants had already agreed a preliminary contract with the Argentine prodigy, with the player set to move to Paris in 2026. However, Real Madrid, in their usual unexpected move in the football transfer market, snatched the young star.

Franco Mastantuono has been developing at the River Plate academy since 2019. He began to show his talent as a professional player by breaking into the club's first team in early 2024. During this time, he has played a total of 61 games, scoring 10 goals and providing 7 assists.

The player's current contract with River Plate was due to expire in December 2026. The Transfermarkt portal estimates his market value at around 30 million euros.

Analysts say that Mastantuono is one of the most worthy candidates to become the successor of Leo Messi in Argentine football in the future. His actions on the field, ball handling skills and technical indicators have impressed many and attracted the attention of major European clubs. Real Madrid did not hesitate to spend huge amounts of money to see this talent in their ranks.

Thus, we can expect another Argentine star to shine brightly in European football. How Franco Mastantuono will show himself in Madrid and to what extent he will achieve success together with other young stars in the "royal club" will become clear in the near future. Fans expect new and brilliant results from the young star.
