Real Madrid Confidencial Madrid has signed Lamine's successor, Florentino smiles, official, arrival coming soon
At Real Madrid, they are very eager for Franco Mastantuono to join
With the Club World Cup already finished, Real Madrid is thinking about the arrival of Franco Mastantuono from River Plate. The Argentine footballer, who has already said goodbye to his previous club, will arrive at Santiago Bernabéu next August 14, exactly on the day he turns 18 years old. That's what the Madrid side confirmed in its official statement about the signing, due to a FIFA regulation.
The arrival date leaves Franco Mastantuono with very little time to prepare for the start of the season with his new team. The footballer will only have five short days before the first LaLiga match, scheduled for August 19 against CA Osasuna at Santiago Bernabéu. However, it's important to remember that the date could be postponed after the latest complaint from Real Madrid and AFE to Javier Tebas.
Will Franco Mastantuono be available for the first LaLiga match?
Although Real Madrid has high expectations for his development, everything indicates that Xabi Alonso won't be able to count on him immediately. The Basque's intention is for him to get minutes as soon as possible, but it's important to remember that the Argentine is training alone. The footballer will need time to adapt to the training pace, the group, and the demands of the coaching staff before he can join the squad dynamic.
Nevertheless, we could see Franco Mastantuono in the second LaLiga match, which will be played against Real Oviedo. The match will take place at Carlos Tartiere, so his debut at Santiago Bernabéu could happen against RCD Mallorca.
The most valuable 17-year-old footballer in the market
Many say that Franco Mastantuono is set to be better than Lamine Yamal. That remains to be seen over time, but the Argentine is already the most valuable underage footballer in the world.
Lamine Yamal has already turned 18 years old, which leaves the Real Madrid footballer at the top of the ranking. Currently, Franco Mastantuono has a market value of 30 million euros, although the Madrid side ended up paying more than 60 "kilos".
