🔎 Eyes on River: another European giant after Mastantuono | OneFootball

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 brightest gems in South American football and has begun 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 world’s best teams.

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," wrote Plettenberg 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 standout star. He made his debut under Martín Demichelis and has now established himself as a key player 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 as PSG to move quickly to secure his signing.

River Plate will face 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 in the Copa Argentina before traveling to the FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States.
