Atlético Eyes River's New Gem
Atlético de Madrid is closely monitoring the promising attacking midfielder from River Plate, Franco Mastantuono. At just 17 years old, this emerging talent is already shining in the ‘Millonario’ first team and joins the prestigious list of players trained in River’s academy.
His recent performance in the draw against Rosario Central did not go unnoticed by the emissaries of the Colchonero club present at the Monumental.
Atlético, always attentive to South American talent, considers Mastantuono a possible reinforcement for the team led by Cholo Simeone, joining other players formed in River who have already triumphed at the Madrid club.
Although his current market value is around 15 million euros, River Plate could request a figure close to 40 million for the young midfielder. While Atlético’s interest in Mastantuono grew, the presidents of River Plate and Real Madrid met at the Santiago Bernabéu to strengthen collaboration between the two clubs, demonstrating the good relationship and effective management of both entities.
