Mastantuono admits it, he wasn't going to sign for Real Madrid yet: 'My intention...'

Franco Mastantuono's signing by Real Madrid has been one of the most exciting moves for Madridists to date. However, this addition wasn't what was desired at one point in the Argentine footballer's career. "My intention was to play at River Plate all this year; but then Real Madrid came and changed everything."

Mastantuono's arrival, which, although already announced, still hasn't happened yet, took place all of a sudden. Although the team had been working on the signing for some time, in the end it was finalized immediately. Joining the white squad has been a dream for him, but it wasn't what was desired, at least not so soon.

Nevertheless, he added a phrase that, for many, is a clear idea of what the best club in the world represents. "They showed me how much they wanted me and how much they wanted me, and I saw it as a beautiful challenge," the Argentine stated.

The crest convinced him

Real Madrid isn't just a soccer team, but the greatest institution in the history of sports. For this reason, being part of it is within reach of only a few footballers who meet the expectations.

This player had succeeded during his time at River Plate, where he was a standout at a very young age and that propelled him to European soccer. Now, as one of Real Madrid's most exciting signings, he is clear that he wants to succeed in the team of his dreams.

The intention was clear and his arrival to the white squad was going to be postponed for some more time in the future. However, when the biggest crest in the world knocks on the door, it's clear that it can't be refused.

It's time to succeed

With his abilities, he has everything to become the flagship player that many might expect from him. That said, to achieve it, he has a lot to do along the way. However, with a clear mind and what seems to be outstanding determination, everything points to him being able to achieve it with the right guidance.
