Franco Mastantuono is quickly emerging as one of Real Madrid’s potential surprise moves in the transfer market. The River Plate midfielder has been under the club’s watch for several months, with interest steadily increasing. According to TyC Sports, the player’s agents are currently in Spain to negotiate a possible move to the Spanish capital.

The report claims that Mastantuono’s representatives met with Real Madrid officials yesterday, and the 17-year-old Argentine talent also joined the meeting virtually to be part of the initial talks. The discussions reportedly focused on a possible transfer to the Santiago Bernabéu.

Mastantuono has recently attracted widespread attention after scoring a stunning free-kick goal in the Superclásico against Boca Juniors, further boosting his growing reputation. Though he plays a role similar to Arda Güler, rather than deeper midfielders like Zubimendi or Angelo Stiller, his flair, vision, and left-footed quality align with Real Madrid’s taste for emerging creative talent.

TyC Sports also reports that Real Madrid are open to selling Rodrygo Goes, potentially creating space for a profile like Mastantuono to develop within the squad. Despite being only 17, his confidence and skill have made him a standout on the South American stage, and now he's become a serious candidate for a future at Real Madrid.
