Franco Mastantuono is reportedly among the players most likely to leave Real Madrid on loan during the summer transfer window as the club looks to accelerate his development.
After arriving amid high expectations following a significant investment by Real Madrid, the young Argentine has struggled to adapt to European football and has found regular playing time difficult to come by during his first season at the club.
According to Diario AS, a loan move is now considered the most likely outcome, with Real Madrid determined to keep the midfielder in Europe rather than send him back to Argentina. While River Plate had been linked with a potential return for their former player, the report states that the club's priority is to find him a destination where he can continue adapting to European football and gain valuable minutes.
The objective would be for Mastantuono to follow a similar development path to Endrick, who benefited from a loan spell after seeing limited opportunities with the first team.
Real Madrid believe regular playing time could be key to Mastantuono's progression, with the player expected to use the loan move as an opportunity to continue his growth and strengthen his chances of returning to the club with a more prominent role in the future.
