The 17-year-old midfielder is "a priority" for Luis Campos, sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Franco Mastantuono is one of the great gems of South American football and has started to attract interest from the most important clubs in Europe. At just 17 years old, the River Plate midfielder appears to be a top target for several of the best teams in the world.

According to Florian Plettenberg, a Sky Sports journalist who specializes in transfers, Paris Saint-Germain has already started talks to sign Mastantuono, who is under contract with River until December 2026.

"PSG has entered the race for the super talented Franco Mastantuono. Talks have already begun," Plettenberg wrote on his 'X' account.

Luis Campos, sporting director of the Parisian club, who renewed his contract with the institution until 2030, is described as a "big admirer" of the River youngster, who has scored seven goals in 18 matches this season.

Mastantuono has become River’s top star. He made his debut under Martín Demichelis and has now established himself as one of the key players under Marcelo Gallardo. It is likely that Lionel Scaloni will soon call him up to Argentina’s senior national team.

There are reports that Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, and Manchester United have him on their radar, although none seem as intent on moving quickly as PSG to secure the signing.

River Plate faces Universitario of Peru next Tuesday in the final match of the CONMEBOL Libertadores group stage and will play a fixture against San Martín de Tucumán for the Copa Argentina before traveling to the FIFA Club World Cup to be held in the United States.
