Real Madrid Confidencial Mastantuono rebels and makes an unexpected request just days before becoming a Madrid player
The Argentine's situation has surprised his club and could change everything
Real Madrid would already have closed a deal with River Plate for the signing of Franco Mastantuono. They thus secure the latest Argentine talent, who had caused high expectations at 17 years old. However, there was still a big question: when will he arrive at the white team.
Everyone takes for granted that he wants to play the Club World Cup with River, his lifelong club, to which he is very attached. He wants this to be his last service to the colors he has represented for so many years. Therefore, his arrival would take place right after this event in the United States ends.
But the latest reports about Mastantuono indicate that he is excited about his signing. He is very enthusiastic about becoming a new Real Madrid player, which was his great desire. That even pushes him to want to come now, as he has told those close to him.
It should be remembered that he told his agents he wanted to prioritize Madrid's offer over any other. Even when they broke the promise they made to Solari and Juni Calafat. He ended up insisting that they reach an agreement with the whites for his signing.
Mastantuono would play the Club World Cup with River Plate
It is true that Xabi Alonso wanted to have Mastantuono now so he could play the Club World Cup with Madrid. He knows this summer will be special, with a much shorter preseason. He wanted to use the training sessions in the United States to work on concepts.
That's why the fact that Mastantuono will arrive later will take away some training sessions from him. That could also affect his adaptation to the team and the country. He trusts that little by little he can become a useful player for the plans he has.
Above all because he is very versatile to play in midfield, as he did in the youth categories. Gallardo has opted to use him on the wing and has brought out his best version. Xabi could use him in either of the two positions, although he will have to test him in his first training sessions.
