Juni Calafat flies to Buenos Aires to sign Mastantuono, it could become official in days

The signing of Franco Mastantuono by Real Madrid has been reactivated in recent weeks. It seemed to be ruled out after the player's agents renewed last summer with River. They did so by using Los Blancos to get a better deal.

However, the player's stance of wanting to wait for Real Madrid seems to have been decisive. Mastantuono wants to prioritize the interests of the Merengue side over any other. That has made his arrival at Bernabéu a reality that's now very close.

To such an extent that Juni Calafat reportedly flew to Buenos Aires to finalize the arrival of the Argentine. Eduardo Inda has reported on the situation, and it appears to be a deal that's well on track. "Real Madrid emissaries are in Buenos Aires to try to finalize the signing of Franco Mastantuono this week," he stated.

In fact, he has also dared to predict his arrival, and there could be a big surprise with it. He claims that "they'll try to finalize it this week and take him to the World Cup," so it would be one more signing. Xabi Alonso could have a man for the midfield in the United States.

A special signing that Real Madrid could secure now

Although he hasn't turned 18 yet, Real Madrid could add him right now. He has dual Argentine and Italian nationality, which makes things easier. With Endrick, they had to wait until he came of age, something that wouldn't be necessary with Mastantuono.

That's why at Real Madrid they don't want to wait any longer if they're really going after his signing. PSG or Manchester City are also following him very closely to try to sign him. We already know that neither the Parisians nor the English will have financial problems.

That's why it seems that Real Madrid's anger with Mastantuono's agents is now a thing of the past. Now they're considering a signing that will cost around €50 million. However, they could pressure them to lower that price by taking advantage of the player's willingness.
