The transfer team at La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid have identified two up-and-coming Argentine talents as potential signings.

That’s according to Relevo, who have on Thursday provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes in Spain’s capital.

The first name on the agenda at Real is Franco Mastantuono.

Attacker Mastantuono has actually been on the radar of the Santiago Bernabéu brass for some time now, amid his remarkable breakout campaign at Argentine giants River Plate.

Relevo, though, point towards Los Blancos as now more than ever giving serious consideration to launching an all-out assault for the signature of the 16-year-old:

‘Real Madrid is considering making a big effort for Mastantuono. As they point out in the Valdebebas offices, he is another of those ‘generational talents’.’

And yet, the efforts of Juni Calafat and his scouting department in Argentina have not ended there.

This comes with another prodigious Albiceleste talent – in the form of Tomás Parmo – having also been earmarked as a potential star in the making.

Parmo, also 16, is an attacking midfielder who is currently plying his trade with Club Atlético Independiente.

And though his profile is not considered quite as much a ‘sure thing’ as that of Mastantuono, the teen’s raw talent has nevertheless seen him firmly pique the attentions of Real.

After the likes of Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo, could the South American ventures of Los Merengues soon pay dividends once more?
