This is what D'Alessandro says about Mastantuono and Lamine Yamal, he reveals who will be better.

Jorge D'Alessandro insists again on his idea when comparing these two players

Franco Mastantuono's signing by Real Madrid hasn't gone unnoticed by anyone. The Argentine footballer is the biggest prospect at the moment, and within the Madrid club, they're very excited about this deal. In addition, no one forgets that the player practically had a deal done with PSG until Juni Calafat went to Argentina.

The player's priority was always to play for the white team. That was his priority, and when it came down to it, he stuck with it until the end. In his country, people emphasize that it could be one of the best transfer moves in recent times.

All of this is because people speak wonders about the way he plays. In fact, not long ago, Jorge D'Alessandro said a few days ago on El Chiringuito that, for him, he was better than Lamine Yamal, thus generating a great stir on social media. 

Yesterday, he wanted to justify this statement. According to him, Franco has more skills than Lamine, so he sees him as much more complete. Both are different on the field, and the only thing they practically share is their age: 17 years old.

Within the Madrid club, they don't want to put pressure on this new signing. They're aware of how much things change when playing in Europe, especially if it's for Real Madrid. That's why they prefer to take things slowly and with a lot of calm and tranquility. 

He will be important

This doesn't mean he'll be a substitute and go unnoticed by Xabi Alonso. In fact, the coach from San Sebastián sees him as a key piece in his plans, and it won't be a surprise to see him starting matches.  That's the intention of the coaching staff at this time.

Therefore, we'll have to see what ends up happening with Mastantuono. At this time, we have to settle for watching him in the Club World Cup with River Plate. Once that competition ends, he'll have his vacation, and on August 15, right when he turns 18 years old, he'll be at Xabi Alonso's disposal in Madrid.
