❌ River Plate make their call on Franco Mastantuono | OneFootball

The 'Millionaire' returned to training this Wednesday with the absence of the 17-year-old midfielder: he will be separated from the squad until his trip to Spain.

River Plate has returned to training after their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup with a notable absence: Franco Mastantuono has been separated from Marcelo Gallardo's squad and will work differently until he travels to Spain.

Mastantuono, who turns 18 on August 14 and can then join Real Madrid, did not show up for practice and will also not participate in sessions with the rest of his teammates.

Currently, Franco Mastantuono is enjoying a few days of vacation and would only return to River Camp to say goodbye to the squad and the coaching staff. Once his rest is over, before traveling to Spain, he will train with a physical trainer.

In this way, River Plate will not have Mastantuono for the start of the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional League or for the match against Libertad de Paraguay for the first leg of the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores round of 16.

The exact date when Mastantuono will travel to the capital of Spain to join Real Madrid is still unknown, but at River they intend to take no risks with his transfer.
