Mastantuono's Stunning Goal Goes Viral, Once Again in Real Madrid's Orbit

Last summer, Real Madrid seemed convinced to go for the signing of Franco Mastantuono. They saw the River gem as a player with a great future ahead. Even Solari and Juni Calafat traveled to Argentina to speak directly with him.

But over the past months, the interest of the Whites in his signing has gradually cooled. Some sources even indicated that he was no longer in the race and the Premier League had him very close, with Manchester City and Liverpool as the two big favorites to get him.

But Mastantuono has returned to Real Madrid's orbit in recent days. It seems that the elimination in the Champions League has caused changes in the planning of the Whites. Once again, they are looking at the young River promise as an alternative.

He would be a reinforcement for the midfield, where things seem not to have worked out. Modric may leave if his contract is not renewed, and his place needs to be filled. Only Ceballos has been able to offer something different in playmaking this season.

Franco Mastantuono Proves Himself with a Stunning Goal That Has Gone Viral

At Real Madrid, they value Mastantuono's quality and the progression he can still have. It's true that there were doubts about his consistency, which might make them reconsider his signing. Although he has been able to solve some doubts with the stunning goal he scored.

It was during the Argentine league match against Gimnasia, in which his team managed to win 3-0. Midway through the second half, with a 1-0 lead, Franco received a ball close to the right wing. He moved toward the center, passing between two opponents.

Already inside the area, he left a third defender behind while a fourth lunged to block his shot. He didn't succeed, just like the goalkeeper whose dive was futile to prevent the goal. Mastantuono's drive, speed, and strike in a stunning goal that puts him on the radar.
