Mastantuono: Atlético in the Battle for the Argentine Jewel
Atlético de Madrid is closely following Franco Mastantuono, the young River Plate talent who has dazzled the football world. At just 17 years old, this left-footed attacking midfielder has caught the attention of major European clubs, including Atleti.
Red and white scouts have been observing him live, and the reports they have in the Metropolitano are very favorable. Although interest is high and competition fierce, Atlético has maintained contact with the player’s entourage, knowing that River Plate refers to his release clause of 45 million euros.
According to the newspaper Olé, up to 17 teams are in the race for Mastantuono, including giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich, among others.
Despite rumors linking him to Real Madrid, the player’s entourage assures that Mastantuono has no preferences and that the next few months will be crucial in defining his future. Atlético, with its proven ability to develop young talent, is positioned as an attractive option for the Argentine player. Red and white fans hope that the club can finalize this signing and add one of the greatest promises of South American football to its ranks.
