Why Real Madrid’s move for Franco Mastantuono fell through | OneFootball

An insight into the reasoning behind La Liga giants Real Madrid calling time on their pursuit of Argentine sensation Franco Mastantuono has been forthcoming online.

This comes amid confirmation of issues emerging during negotiations between the parties.

The name of midfielder Mastantuono of course took its place front and centre in the media chatter across Spain at various points last year.

This came as both Barcelona and Real Madrid, in particular the latter, were credited with a serious interest in the signature of the 17-year-old.

Mastantuono, for his part, is widely regarded as one of the standout talents in all of South American football, considered a potential star in the making in his home country of Argentina.

So, why exactly did Real Madrid’s efforts to land the River Plate prodigy come up short?

As alluded to above, this weekend, an insight into as much has been provided.

As per Real Madrid insider José Félix Díaz, amid negotiations between the parties in 2024:

‘There was a problem with his agents.’
