Jabois warns Real Madrid about Mastantuono or Lamine Yamal: 'It'd be stupid...'

In recent weeks, a lot of information has come out about Franco Mastantuono. Real Madrid addressed his signing at a time when PSG was very close to signing him. That's why what Juni Calafat, José Ángel Sánchez, and Santiago Solari have done is very impressive, as they've been key.

Some are comparing Franco Mastantuono to Lamine Yamal, because they're two left-footed gems who are the same age. They're going to face each other for many years in Clásicos, and it promises to be an exciting rivalry. However, there are also people who want to downplay these comparisons.

"I don't think it's an attempt to be anti-Lamine Yamal because that would be a pretty stupid attempt by Real Madrid. I don't think that's the case," Manuel Jabois began saying in a discussion on La SER.

A spectacular signing

"This kind of spending on young players that Real Madrid is doing comes because it doesn't have the capacity of PSG or Manchester City, which is to spend €100 million and risk it going wrong," the journalist added.

"Regarding Mastantuono... I'm going to have to get used to the name because I don't want to say Franco. -From the little we've seen of him, he's very promising and seems like a great signing. He already has pressure because he's coming from a club like River Plate," Jabois explained with a sense of humor.

He is cautious

With these words from Manuel Jabois, what he's seeking is for there to be caution. Franco Mastantuono will turn 18 on August 14; he's still very young. Many things can happen in his career, so it's important to go step by step. 

There's a lot of excitement at Real Madrid, because Franco Mastantuono has everything to succeed at the best team in the world. In addition, Xabi is going to give him many opportunities from the start, because he considers him a special player. In fact, he insisted that the Madrid club move ahead of PSG in the deal.
