Florentino takes charge of the most desired signing, the final move is approaching

The change in the dynamics of Franco Mastantuono's signing has once again placed Real Madrid as the team best positioned to secure his signing right now. Despite PSG's proximity in this regard, the white leadership would have moved into action by showing a lot of interest in signing River Plate's midfielder.

Madridist interference would have paid off to the point that, according to information published by MARCA, people in Argentina see the end of this case as very near. The Spanish sports daily points out that River Plate expects a move from Real Madrid for Franco Mastantuono in the coming hours.

That would mean that the board of directors led by Florentino Pérez would've decided on the relevant debates regarding the key points of the signing of the Australian prospect. From the noble area of the Mâs Monumental they keep insisting on their conditions to let Franco Mastantuono leave, barriers that don't convince people in the Valdebebas offices at this time.

In addition to that imminent move that they would expect in Buenos Aires for Franco Mastantuono, the daily MARCA also recalls the major obstacle to the conclusion of this saga: the release clause. Such figure, set at €45 million, is the main inhibitor of a signing that is increasingly taking on white tones.

It's getting closer

Mastantuono has a contract until 2027, but people in the Valdebebas offices won't try to sign him on a free transfer: PSG's interest is one of the most notable reasons. That's why the only possible option, at least a priori, is to pay that exit barrier. In this context, Real Madrid doesn't give up on seeking alternatives to the million-euro insistence.

Not for the white treasury, which always calculates all income and expenses for each season meticulously. Even more so in the middle of the transfer season, so the white leadership is very clear about it: they'll try to reduce the price of that €45 million release clause. The goal is to achieve a transfer more in line, according to their own standards, for Mastantuono.

In MARCA they point out that Real Madrid would not only try to lower that release clause, which even PSG found too high during this saga. There could also be the possibility of "postponing" the payment of those €45 million, making his incorporation effective now and adding a considerable liability to the white club's accounts.

In any case, Real Madrid has considerably altered the dynamics of Franco Mastantuono's signing with their unexpected intervention. Against all odds, since many placed the Argentine footballer at the Parc des Princes, the merengue entity is positioned as the most suitable candidate for the footballer... while they solve the agreement with River Plate in the coming hours.
