The transfer market continues to offer key moves even before it officially begins. This time, journalist Fabrizio Romano has put the spotlight on one of the most promising gems in South American soccer.

According to what he has revealed, Paris Saint-Germain is very close to finalizing the signing of Franco Mastantuono, an Argentine attacking midfielder who is only 16 years old, who has been followed for months by several European giants, including Real Madrid. Talks between PSG and the player's camp have been developing quietly for some time, but now the operation has picked up speed.

Although there is still no finalized agreement or official announcement, everything indicates that the Parisian club will move decisively to secure the arrival of the young talent as soon as possible, getting ahead of other teams that haven't yet taken the final step.

They want to take the Argentine

Franco Mastantuono, currently at River Plate, is considered one of the greatest prospects in Argentine soccer. Real Madrid has had him on their radar for months, but their more conservative strategy could cost them dearly against PSG's push.

The French club has made recruiting young talent one of their main priorities. After losing Mbappé, they are looking to rebuild their project by betting on young profiles with potential. Mastantuono fits perfectly into that plan and in Paris they believe his signing is only a matter of time if there are no last-minute setbacks.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has chosen to keep calm. Although they value the player's talent highly, they don't seem willing to enter a rushed bidding war. At the white club, they understand that a fierce competition with PSG on financial matters could be devastating. That's why the player's interest in prioritizing the club's name over money is essential for his signing.

A gem that slips away

While the signing of this player is starting to get complicated, nothing has been decided yet according to the journalist. However, with the Champions League recently won by the Parisians and an exciting project, it may be the path the young South American wants to take.
