Florentino Received a Mysterious Visit at Real Madrid-Leganés, Sparks Rumors

Real Madrid Had to Work Hard, especially in the defensive aspect, to Take the Three Points Against Leganés. The visit of Borja Jiménez's players exposed new shortcomings among Carlo Ancelotti's players on the Eve of the Copa del Rey Semifinal Return Leg.

What happened on the field wasn't the only thing that caught many people's attention. Because one of the Images of the Match Occurred After González Fuertes Whistled the End of the Game... and it featured Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez, with Two Dignitaries from Another Renowned Club in the world: River Plate.

According to Real Madrid's official website, the president and the second vice president of River "watched Real Madrid's victory against Leganés from Santiago Bernabéu box. There, they were received by president Florentino Pérez, to whom they presented a River jersey", concludes the brief Madrid statement about a visit that has sparked dozens of rumors.

The Spontaneous Visit of Jorge Brito and Ignacio Villarroel has nothing to do with a possible signing agreement between the two clubs. Despite the Speculations Arising in Recent Hours, all focused on the name of Franco Mastantuono, the information circulating about that meeting points in a different direction.

Rumors Cleared

According to Guillermo Rai, both River Plate executives were on a Return Trip from China. The 'The Athletic' Journalist Assures that the Visit to Santiago Bernabéu Box, on the occasion of the match against Leganés, was a Stopover Before Continuing. Because the return trip to Buenos Aires from the Asian country is too long and must be made through layovers on several continents.

The Country They Would Have Chosen to Land Before Continuing Their Return Trip to Argentina Would Be Spain. Guillermo Rai emphasizes that the Presence of These Two Wealthy Executives is a Courtesy Visit, given the excellent and long-standing institutional relationship between both clubs.

In No Case Would It Be Related to the Possibility of the White Club Signing Franco Mastantuono in the upcoming summer markets. While it is true that the Attacking Midfielder from Azul Was One of the Most Talked-About Players in mid-2024, the White Sports Management Decided to 'Distance Itself' temporarily from the Argentine footballer.

That Stance taken almost a year ago would be Maintained according to the information published by the 'The Athletic' journalist. Thus, Real Madrid and River Plate Didn't Negotiate Any Signing and Florentino Pérez simply showed the Madrid Hospitality to two executives from a friendly club of the Madrid entity.
