Mastantuono is already with Real Madrid: total agreement with River Plate and announcement date

They claim that everything is already finalized, including when the official announcement will be made

Real Madrid have been pursuing the signing of Franco Mastantuono with insistence in recent days. They believe he's a player they can't let slip away because of the talent he has shown. Even more so after PSG's interest in acquiring his services this summer.

But Los Blancos have made a move and have spent several days in Buenos Aires trying to get everything tied up. The Merengue delegation has met with the Millonarios' board to negotiate. The latest reports indicate that they may have already reached an agreement for the transfer.

Real Madrid and River Plate seem to have already finalized everything for Franco Mastantuono's signing. There's talk of a payment of €45 million (45 million euros) that will be split into 4 installments. This way, Los Blancos will have an easier time handling the expense involved.

The next step will be to officially announce the signing of Franco Mastantuono by Real Madrid. According to reports, that will happen next week and then we'll find out for sure about his arrival. Whether he'll play in the Club World Cup or, on the contrary, if his arrival will be delayed until the winter transfer window.

Mastantuono's words raise alarms about his arrival

Real Madrid and River Plate may have already finalized the agreement for the transfer of Franco Mastantuono. However, his words to ESPN are raising alarms within the Madrid camp. His arrival might not happen this summer, and could be postponed until the winter transfer window.

Mastantuono has confirmed that his biggest dream is to win a Copa Libertadores with River Plate. For now, he hasn't achieved it and would only do so if he stays until the end of the season, which in Argentina is in December. That would leave Real Madrid without the Argentine for several months.

That would mean the agreement is already finalized and his signing may even be signed. However, his arrival wouldn't happen until the winter transfer window, with him remaining on loan at River. This possibility guarantees his arrival, but would delay it for now, until the middle of next season.
