Real Madrid - River agreement for Mastantuono: Ramón de Mon puts an end to the saga

Ramón de Mon confirmed on 'X' that the signing of the Argentine footballer by Real Madrid is finalized

Real Madrid has set out to strengthen their squad this summer. With their sights set on both the Club World Cup and the 2025/26 campaign, two signings have been confirmed. The first was center-back Dean Huijsen, who was followed by several European giants, and then Trent Alexander-Arnold, who decided not to renew with Liverpool in order to join the white team.

But the reinforcements won't stop there. Everything indicates that the club is very close to finalizing the arrival of left-back Álvaro Carreras. Added to this is the growing consensus that Real Madrid has practically secured the signing of Franco Mastantuono, one of the great prospects in Argentine soccer.

Ramón de Mon confirms Mastantuono's signing by Real Madrid

Despite strong competition from several clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, everything suggests that Madrid will sign a talent with generational potential. Various sources agree that the player's greatest desire has always been to wear the white jersey. This has made this operation an unbeatable opportunity for both the footballer and the club.

"Real Madrid and River have reached an agreement over the weekend for Franco Mastantuono. The Argentine player will arrive at Real Madrid after the World Cup he will play with River. More details on the channel as soon as I can post the video", posted Ramón de Mon this very afternoon on "X".

Initially, Ramón mentioned that Real Madrid and River Plate didn't have a closed agreement yet, but everything changed within a few minutes. "Forget about this because right after writing it, I've just been updated. I'll tell you right away", he wrote a few minutes before the announcement in question.

Official confirmation from Real Madrid still pending

All that's left is for Real Madrid to make the signing official so the young Argentine can keep growing and establishing himself within the white team. If everything goes as expected, the club will have secured a player with exceptional talent, destined to be a decisive figure.

However, Madridists won't be able to see Franco Mastantuono with Real Madrid at the Club World Cup. River Plate will have achieved their goal and the midfielder will play the tournament with the Argentine club.
