Real Madrid officially confirmed the signing of Franco Mastantuono starting August 14. In doing so, it secures the services of the top Argentine prospect that several clubs wanted. In fact, PSG seemed to have made significant progress, until the white team intervened.

Nevertheless, many seem to have taken issue with how things unfolded, pointing to DjMariio. The popular YouTuber surprised everyone by revealing the messages he had exchanged with Mastantuono. Moreover, after the signing became official, he made them public.

However, this has caused a major controversy, with many Argentinians accusing them of not having acted properly. They believe Mastantuono was focused on his future instead of his club during crucial moments. Meanwhile, they blame DjMariio for destabilizing him at a decisive point in the season.

However, he wanted to respond to everyone criticizing him for Franco's signing. He was blunt in his comments: "He's going to bring in a fortune," he said during a livestream. He doesn't understand the controversy that has arisen and even deleted the video to avoid problems for Mastantuono.

Real Madrid gets its way with Mastantuono

It's true that Mastantuono will play in the Club World Cup with River Plate and not with Real Madrid. But even so, the whites have managed to get their way regarding the young Argentine's joining date. It will be this summer, starting August 14, when his arrival will become official.

The whites consulted FIFA to see if it could be done before he turned 18 years old. The reason is that Franco has an Italian passport, and they trusted that the operation would be approved. However, nothing conclusive was said and they've preferred to wait a few weeks.

They won't wait any longer, even though River Plate's wish was for him to finish the season with them. In Argentina, it extends until the end of the year and they also wanted him for the Libertadores. However, in the end, he'll join Madrid this summer, when he comes of age.
