Mastantuono's response to PSG's multimillion-dollar offer: 'How much money...?'

Mastantuono is one step away from joining Real Madrid, and his response to PSG's offer is revealing

The transfer market once again has Mastantuono as the main character, River's gem who's attracted the interest of Europe's top clubs. In recent hours, Paris Saint-Germain has made a multi-million euro offer with the intention of snatching away from Real Madrid one of their top targets. However, the young Argentine talent has given a response that further reinforces his desire to wear white.

According to sources close to the deal, PSG has offered a higher amount than the Merengue side, willing to close the signing as soon as possible. However, Mastantuono himself has made his position clear to those around him: "How much money? I want to play for Real Madrid." A forceful statement that reflects both his admiration for the club and his intention to prioritize sports over finances.

At Valdebebas, they value this attitude very positively and although the deal isn't closed yet, Madrid has sped up talks and has the approval of the footballer and his family. The plan is for Mastantuono to play in the Club World Cup with River and, afterwards, join the white club when he comes of age, just as was done previously with other South American prospects.

Firm decision at 16 years old

Despite his young age, Mastantuono has shown unusual maturity. He doesn't let himself be blindly swayed by exorbitant contracts or outside pressure. His priority is to succeed in Europe, and he sees Real Madrid as the ideal stage to grow surrounded by the best.

His decision has caused a gesture of respect within the white club, which sees in him not only talent, but also commitment and vision for the future. Moreover, with the project in Xabi Alonso's hands, everything points to being much more convincing due to his technical methodology and focus on youth development.

Madrid speeds up the process

River has given in on their demands and is willing to negotiate the clause, since the player's desire is to go to Madrid. Although PSG keeps pushing, everything indicates that Mastantuono will, sooner rather than later, become a new Real Madrid player.
