Several top European clubs are showing interest in Franco Mastantuono, a player from River Plate. Despite this interest, the 17-year-old did not make a transfer this summer.
River Plate is reportedly not willing to reduce their asking price for the highly sought-after young talent, who is under contract until 2026, allowing the club to wait for a suitable offer.
Mastantuono has made 30 appearances for River Plate, scoring three goals and providing two assists. Reports suggest that Real Madrid remains open to pursuing him, even with other teams likely to make bids during the winter transfer window.
Arsenal is also monitoring this talented playmaker, with River Plate valuing him at around €45 million, which is a significant amount for Real Madrid, especially considering interest from clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea, who may drive up the price.
For now, Mastantuono plans to focus on his development and continue performing at a high level, as he will have numerous opportunities to advance his career in the future. PSG, under Luis Enrique, is seen as a favorable option for him and his agents.
