Florentino 'puts' Mastantuono on hold and could finalize 2 signings this Monday

It's no secret that Franco Mastantuono is one of Real Madrid's main targets in this summer transfer window. Shining at River Plate and establishing himself as a great talent, Florentino Pérez has worked hard on this transfer. However, the operation for Mastantuono has been unexpectedly paused by Florentino himself.

The reason behind this is that Florentino wants to speed up the signings of Álvaro Carreras and Nico Paz as soon as possible. Although Real Madrid has made great progress with both deals, neither has been finalized. This is why Real Madrid will be busy all day tomorrow to get both deals ready.

This change in priorities from Florentino Pérez, although unexpected, doesn't reduce Mastantuono's importance at all. The Argentine midfielder remains a highly relevant target for Real Madrid, which keeps strengthening its squad.

The pause with Mastantuono

Considered one of the greatest talents in the world, Franco Mastantuono is close to joining Real Madrid. The 17-year-old player, who has amazed with his performances at River Plate, is ready to strengthen Real Madrid's midfield. However, the midfield isn't the only position Real Madrid wants to strengthen.

The left-back position, after the poor season from Mendy and Fran García, urgently needs a player who meets expectations. This is why, before the Club World Cup, Real Madrid wants to secure the services of Álvaro Carreras, who's 22 years old.

A similar situation is happening with Nico Paz, who, after an excellent season at Como, is aiming to return to Real Madrid. Although the team has a buy-back option for the player, progress on his signing hasn't been as fast.

Florentino Pérez's priorities

With a clear intention to win the Club World Cup, Florentino Pérez has determined that the signings of Nico and Carreras are key. After making progress with both deals for months, it's time for both to be finalized.
