Real Madrid Surprise with Mastantuono on his first day at Valdebebas, yet another sign of his maturity
The Argentine, after turning 18 yesterday, arrived at Valdebebas driving his own car, something that has surprised everyone
Franco Mastantuono hasn't taken long to show a detail that speaks to his personality. On his first day at Valdebebas, the Argentine arrived driving his own car.
He just turned 18 yesterday, but this isn't anything outside the law. In Argentina, a driver's license can be obtained at 17, always with parental authorization.
Mastantuono did so in his country and has now requested validation in Spain. The player completed that process so he could drive without any issues.
Today, on his first day as a Real Madrid footballer on the Valdebebas field, he surprised everyone by arriving behind the wheel.
A gesture that says a lot about him
It's not common for a newcomer, especially one so young, to show so much independence. In many cases, new signings travel accompanied by family members or club staff. However, Mastantuono seems determined to take steps on his own from the very beginning.
That small detail shows confidence, maturity, and a quick adaptation to his new life in Spain. Even some club employees have commented on how unusual the scene was.
Just 24 hours earlier, Mastantuono experienced a very special day. He was presented as a Real Madrid player on his 18th birthday. Amid nerves and excitement, he made it clear that he's eager to work and learn.
His presence at Valdebebas marks the beginning of a key stage in his career. Xabi Alonso already counts on him for preseason and could give him minutes in the first matchday of La Liga against Osasuna.
The Argentine, who arrived from River Plate, knows that adapting to European soccer will be a challenge. However, his first hours in Madrid confirm that he doesn't shy away from challenges.
A promising future
Mastantuono is one of Real Madrid's major bets for the coming years. His talent, vision on the field, and competitive character have drawn attention since he was very young.
Now, at just 18, he's facing the opportunity to grow in one of the most demanding locker rooms in the world. If his maturity off the field translates onto the field, he won't take long to earn everyone's respect.
The journey starts today, and Mastantuono has already shown that he plans to travel it with determination... and behind the wheel.
