Atleti Following Mastantuono's Steps: A New 'Julián Case'?
Atlético de Madrid, known for being an attractive destination for young talents, could be preparing a master move to acquire the services of the promising River Plate forward, Franco Mastantuono.
Under the baton of Diego Pablo Simeone, the ‘Rojiblancos’ seek to replicate the strategy that allowed them to incorporate Julián Álvarez, a signing that seemed unattainable due to competition and the figures involved.
‘Cholo’ was key in that operation, using his power of conviction to persuade the player. Now, Argentine sources suggest that Atleti could be employing similar tactics with Mastantuono, with the aim of exploring the feasibility of his signing mid-year.
There is talk of contacts close to the coach building bridges to achieve the agreement. However, the young talent, aware of the importance of his development, seems to prioritize his growth at River Plate before making the leap to a top-level European club. In addition, the operation would not be easy, as it is rumored that River Plate would demand a figure close to 70 million euros.
