Real Madrid are one of several teams interested in the abundance of talented young players in South America.
In recent years, the Whites have signed Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes and Endrick Felipe, and over the past 12 months, River Plate’s Franco Mastantuono has also been in their sights.
Mastantuono is an interesting striker, and someone Real Madrid have been tracking for some time. In recent months, the Madrilenians have cooled their interest somewhat, although it is still relevant. However, Real are no longer alone…
A replacement for Mbappé
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Diario AS), AC Milan are one of the clubs also keen to sign Mastantuono. However, the Lombards are unable to pay his €45 million release clause, with a plan in place to pay the amount in two installments.
For now, River Plate is not considering this option, which gives Real Madrid a better chance of signing him, if they decide to do so.
