⏳ River Plate seal Franco Mastantuono transfer | OneFootball

'Millonario' has a closed agreement with Real Madrid but the last details are pending for the transfer to be made official.

Franco Mastantuono has his days numbered at River Plate. The 17-year-old will be a Real Madrid player in the near future. At this point, his transfer is not at risk and will be closed in the coming days, only details are pending to make it official.

There are certainties that Mastantuono will play the FIFA Club World Cup with the 'Millonario', but then he will emigrate to Madrid to continue his football career with a contract that will extend until 2031.

What is left to define between Jorge Brito and Florentino Pérez is how and when the transfer will be completed. If Real Madrid activates this clause of 45 million euros, Mastantuono will leave River immediately after the Club World Cup.

However, the figure would rise to around 60 million due to the 13% national taxes and another 20% for territoriality that is paid in Spain in the transfers of Argentine and Brazilian footballers, not counting the corresponding commissions.

Franco Mastantuono turns 18 on August 14 and would be presented in the Spanish capital after that date, before the market closes on August 31.

Another option is that Real Madrid pays a similar amount to the clause but in installments and would allow Mastantuono to stay until December to play the final stage of the CONMEBOL Libertadores 2025.

There is a third scenario that is very unlikely. River proposed that Mastantuono stay in Argentine football until at least June 2026 for a total amount lower than the clause, but Real Madrid's management wants to have him as soon as possible.

Beyond the final details, Franco Mastantuono's departure from River to Real Madrid is a fact and everything indicates that he will make his debut with the European giant once he reaches the age of majority.
