Official: Franco Mastantuono’s shirt number at Real Madrid confirmed | OneFootball

Having signed for the club nearly two months ago, Franco Mastantuono is finally set to be presented as a new Real Madrid player today.

The occasion coincides with his 18th birthday, as the Argentine prodigy gets set to begin this new chapter in his burgeoning career.

Mastantuono will wear No. 30 at Real Madrid

Having arrived at the club facilities and undergone his medicals, Mastantuono then posed with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez for his official photograph.

And it is then when it was revealed that the 18-year-old versatile attacking midfielder will wear the No. 30 at Real Madrid.

Coming into his presentation day, there had been speculations about the shirt number as it was previously suggested that he would be handed the No. 25 by Los Blancos and be registered as a first-team player.

However, the Spanish capital giants have gone a different route and given Mastantuono a reserve team number for his first season at the club, even though he will be fully involved with the senior squad.

The idea is that they wish to leave a spot in the first-team squad open for any late movements or signings that might be made.

As such, Mastantuono will wear No. 30 at Real Madrid in his debut season.
