Real Madrid has already secured one of the most promising talents in South American football: Franco Mastantuono. The young midfielder from River Plate, just 17 years old, has signed with the Merengue club, although he will not the white club until mid-August, once he comes of age. Until then, he will remain linked to the Argentine club, with which he will compete in the Club World Cup.
The operation, however, is not without controversy. While Real Madrid's circle insists that the cost of the transfer is around 45 million euros (approximately 40 million euros plus taxes in dollars), in Argentina, very different figures are being handled. According to 'MundoDeportivo,' some sources claim that the real cost of the transfer could rise to 60 million euros, including taxes and other fees.

From Núñez, they had tried to negotiate the player's stay until January to participate in the Copa Libertadores, but neither the Spanish club nor the player himself were willing to prolong his time in South America. Mastantuono, who from the start has made clear his desire to Santiago Bernabéu, turned down financially superior offers, like that of Paris Saint-Germain, prioritizing his dream of wearing white.
As a final detail, the contract signed with Real Madrid includes an astronomical release clause: one billion euros. A figure with which the club aims to protect one of its major future investments, following the strategy applied with other young talents recently acquired. Thus, although figures vary from one continent to another, what seems clear is that Real Madrid has once again taken the lead in the race for tomorrow's stars.
