Real Madrid Confidencial Álvaro Benito reveals what Mastantuono has that Arda Güler doesn't: 'His talent...'
Álvaro Benito analyzed the arrival of the Argentine gem at Real Madrid
Real Madrid already has two key reinforcements for the Club World Cup. Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold will make their debut in the new tournament under Xabi Alonso's management. However, there are other footballers who seem very close to joining the Chamartín club, although their signings haven't been finalized yet.
A clear example is Franco Mastantuono, about whom Álvaro Benito, on "El Larguero", offered a detailed analysis. The former Real Madrid footballer spoke about his possible position and the great talent possessed by the young River Plate prospect.
What does Álvaro Benito think of Franco Mastantuono?
Manu Carreño revealed that the deal is quite advanced. "The player wants to play for Real Madrid", he commented, highlighting that the agreement with the footballer is closed. "We'll have to see if River manages to convince him", he added, noting that the Argentine club prefers the departure to take place in August.
When looking for his position on the field, this footballer was compared to Arda Güler. Álvaro Benito, former footballer and program contributor, replied: "That's the key", highlighting the enormous future the Argentine has.
"He's a different player, a unique talent", he added, noting that he also has more height than the Turk. While the current Real Madrid midfielder sees him more as an organizer or the brain of the team, he considers the River player to be more unbalancing and creative.
"To be able to play for Real Madrid in the future, you have to be among the two or three best in the world in your position", he assured. Manu Carreño admitted that, after watching a video made by "ElDesmarque", he was impressed by the way he looks for plays, carries the ball, and makes his passes.
Álvaro Benito showers Mastantuono with praise
"He's an impressive talent", stated Álvaro Benito, noting that when watching him, "it's clear that he's clearly different". He also highlighted that it was a necessary signing due to his price and age, although he acknowledged that it's still uncertain how he'll develop. However, he assured that if one or two years are waited, his value will exceed €150 million.
"Having scouts who follow young players and sign them for around €40 million is what needs to be done", Manu Carreño pointed out.
