Franco Mastantuono says YES to joining Real Madrid

Franco Mastantuono, linked with a move to PSG just a little over 24 hours ago, is now on the verge of joining Real Madrid. Talks were in advanced stages with the French & European champions who were prepared to pay his release clause, but everything is at a standstill now.

Since Real Madrid re-entered the race, they immediately became favorites due to the player’s desires. He has always wished to play for the royal whites. In fact, it was one of the reasons a deal with PSG was not finalized.

According to Marca, The player has already agreed to join Real Madrid, a green light has already been sent to Spain. Juni Calafat has worked miracles once more to overturn the situation since his arrival in Buenos Aires.

Not only PSG, but other European top clubs have come knocking to sign Franco Mastantuono in the past. TyCSports have also mentioned Man United as one of his suitors. However, his intentions were straight forward: “Sorry, I am waiting for Real Madrid to call me” – the source quotes.

Now, that call has finally ARRIVED!

Real Madrid must now reach an agreement with River Plate

The River plate management has been clear since day one. They point toward Franco’s €45M release to any of his suitors, and have refused to negotiate.

Reluctant at first, Real Madrid are now willing to pay the player’s release clause. The new change of mind so suddenly is based on how aggressive PSG were going in for a deal.

Real Madrid are now in pole position to sign Franco, and want to close a deal as soon as possible. They want the player to make the squad that will travel for the club World Cup.

With just 11 days left till the big event, it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can close a deal in such a short time.
