Franco Mastantuono, an 18-year-old offensive midfielder from Argentina, has been transferred from River Plate to Real Madrid after lengthy negotiations. Presented to the press this Thursday, the Argentine reflected on the interest from other clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, which had been reported as close to recruiting him.
"It's true, many clubs contacted me and I thank them. I also spoke to Luis Enrique and I thank him. Xabi Alonso then called me and he was very convincing, I loved it. I'm looking forward to working under his command."
It happens, a player has the right to make his choice after having discussions with several clubs or coaches. There are inevitably some who are disappointed. This time, PSG is one of them. Perhaps we will have "regrets" later, if the Argentine confirms his potential. But he had a preference for Real Madrid and that can be understood. It's a big club that can make dreams come true. Just as some have chosen Paris, FC Barcelona, a Premier League giant or a Serie A powerhouse at other times. The Parisian club tried its luck, but had to move on.
