Reason revealed: this is why Mastantuono chose Real Madrid and turned down PSG

The important reason why Franco Mastantuono accepted to become a new Real Madrid footballer

After a long wait following the announcement of his signing by Real Madrid, Franco Mastantuono is now a player for the team.  Clearly excited about this new stage in his career, the player revealed the reason he had for signing with the club. "Why did I choose Real Madrid? It's the best club in the world and my dream since I was a child was to play here."

According to what we know at Defensa Central, Real Madrid wasn't the only club interested in signing River Plate's gem. The Premier League and, above all, PSG were the rivals the club had to face to complete this deal. In fact, the Parisian side was the club closest to securing this signing after submitting an offer.

However, Real Madrid decided to act quickly and complete this transfer as soon as possible. €60 million (60 million euros) was the amount the team paid to sign Mastantuono. A signing without many complications given the love the player has for Real Madrid.

Mastantuono's simple decision

Throughout last season, Franco Mastantuono dedicated himself to shining with River Plate. Managing to play a total of 22 matches, the Argentine winger managed to score on 7 occasions and provide 4 assists. These are outstanding numbers for a player who managed to take charge of the Argentine club's attack in several important matches.

Despite being a River Plate youth product, Mastantuono's words make his affection for Real Madrid clear. Like many children around the world, Mastantuono dreamed of playing for the Merengue team. A dream that, after much uncertainty during the transfer window, he managed to make come true.

At just 18 years old, Mastantuono has shown his determination to make history with the team. As the player himself has also revealed, he grew up watching Real Madrid win 3 Champions League titles in a row. These are achievements the Argentine seeks to replicate in the near future.

Real Madrid's dream

Despite having won the last Champions League, PSG still doesn't have the prestige of Real Madrid. The Merengue team, since its foundation, has made sure to establish itself as the best in history. Cases like Mastantuono's only further confirm its superiority over other teams.
