Real Madrid continued to strengthen its ranks for the future, by announcing its official contract with the promising Argentine star Franco Mastantono, coming from River Plate, in a deal that sparked the interest of the major European clubs, led by Paris Saint -Germain, but it ended in favor of “Merengue”.
Details of the deal and the extended contract
The Royal Club announced through its official account on the “X” platform, which included Franco Mastantono, the 17 -year -old, with a contract that extends for six seasons, from August 14, 2025 to June 30, 2031. The player is scheduled to join the riyal after his participation with his team, River Plate, in the 2025 Club World Cup, which kicks off this month in the United States.
Reports revealed that the deal amounted to about 46 million euros, including the value of the penalty clause, taxes and fees, in one of the most expensive man players under 18 years in the current transfer market.
A promising march started early

His accomplishments were not limited to the local level, but also became the youngest player to represent the Argentine national team in an official match.
Mastantono was one of the elements of the team crowned with the Argentine Super Cup this year, confirming his great talent, which attracted early Real Madrid scouts.
Mark statistics in the Argentine league
