Simeone's response about Mastantuono's signing, hurt: 'It seems...'

Confirming Franco Mastantuono's transfer from a few days ago, Real Madrid has made the market move. Considered one of the best talents in the world, Mastantuono has taken a major leap in his career. The impact of his signing has been such that even Simeone himself has shared his opinion about it.

"It doesn't seem like he's 17 years old, I wish him the best," were the words of Giuliano Simeone, son of Diego Simeone. Although he tried to appear somewhat happy for his compatriot, Giuliano hinted at some displeasure over this move. As a member of Atlético de Madrid, Giuliano knows that Real Madrid has just signed a great player.

"...the truth is that I was happy for him, he's a great player," Giuliano concluded with some unconvincing words. Despite being clearly hurt by this impressive move, Real Madrid is extremely satisfied with this important operation.

Simeone's position

Having been part of River Plate since January of last year, Franco Mastantuono began to show his talent. Although Mastantuono can perform in midfield, his preferred position on the field is as a right winger. The 7 goals and 4 assists he has achieved are clear proof of his level in this position.

Although his arrival at Real Madrid will take place after the Club World Cup, this is of little importance after confirming his signing. Receiving several compliments for the courage he showed in accepting the challenge of signing for Real Madrid, Mastantuono has also been criticized.

Giuliano Simeone's words made it clear that, despite knowing the importance of this move, the Atlético player isn't happy. Aware of Mastantuono's talent, Simeone is upset about having to face his compatriot.

Awaiting Mastantuono

Upon turning 18 in August of this year, Real Madrid still has to wait a few months for Mastantuono. A wait that will be quite short with the Club World Cup and the signings in the market that the team left pending.
