Today at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid opened a new chapter in its history by presenting another young and talented footballer. 18-year-old Argentine midfielder Franco Mastantuono has officially become a member of the “royal club.” He was transferred from River Plate for €45 million, marking a major step in the young player’s career.
Perez’s heartfelt words
During the presentation ceremony, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez welcomed the newcomer warmly:
— Today is a special day both for our club and for you. One of the most talented young players in recent years is joining our team. Dear Mastantuono, congratulations, because on your birthday you are making your dream come true. River Plate is a club historically linked to Real Madrid, and today you are joining the prestigious list of Argentine footballers who have played for us. From today you will wear the white shirt of the 15-time European champions. Thank you for choosing to be with us, — said Perez.
From River Plate to the Bernabéu
For Mastantuono, this transfer is not just about joining a new club but stepping into an important new stage. At River Plate, despite his young age, he managed to secure a place in the first team and draw the attention of several European giants.
Fans’ anticipation
Real Madrid fans are now eagerly waiting to see the new talented midfielder in La Liga and European competitions. For Franco, every match in Madrid will be a chance to showcase his talent and, as Perez mentioned, live up to the club’s prestige.
