According to the Horn, Mastantono will join Real Madrid with a record transfer fee. They said that Real Madrid has accelerated the negotiation process due to the intervention of Paris Saint-Germain.
It was revealed that Mastantono decided to leave the riverbed after talking to Alonso. Even though there have been news that it may keep him on the team until December, the situation has changed in recent hours.
Real Madrid announced that they would pay a one-time termination fee of $51 million, taking away the 17-year-old talented player. This will be the most expensive transfer in Argentina football history, and the total amount will reach an astonishing $70 million with taxes.
Mastantono may wear Real Madrid jerseys to participate in the Club World Cup, which is what River Bed hopes to avoid. Although River Plate is reluctant to lose the star player, it even proposed an update last month until the end of 2026 and made him the team's highest-paid player.
But Mastantono chose to keep his existing salary, as the renewal would immediately increase his termination amount. Apparently, the young player's dream is to play for Real Madrid and live in Spain, where he has many friends.
Although the possibility of Real Madrid installment payments was discussed last week to reduce taxes and strive to get Mastantono to leave the team at the end of the year, Florentino's decision made it impossible.
In addition, Mastantono's debut in the Argentina national team also accelerated the process. Although he played for Chile for only a few minutes, the 17-year-old play for the adult national team undoubtedly enhances his value in the future market.
In fact, Real Madrid usually introduces players only as adults, but there are no obstacles to prevent Real Madrid from taking Mastantono now, who will turn 18 on August 14. FIFA allows players to make such transactions from the age of 16, provided that these young players hold passports and Mastantono has EU status.
Mastantono's last match in a river bed jersey seemed to be against Pratens. His conversation with Alonso (by phone) and Calafate (meeting in person) ultimately determines where he is going.
The head of the talent introduction department headed to Buenos Aires, and specifically went to Buenos Aires to convince the player that Carafat did not want to delay the time because he knew the player had spoken with Paris Saint-Germain's sports director Luis Campos and coach Louis Enrique.
fans were dissatisfied with Mastantono's early farewell, and a video circulated on social media. At the Riverbed Foundation dinner in September, he said: "I don't think about those rumors. Although they always come to me, I try my best to devote myself to the Riverbed. My dream is to win the Liberators Cup."
coach Garrado needs to submit a roster for the club's World Cup by Tuesday, but he is not sure whether he can bring Mastantono with him. The player will sign a generous contract with Real Madrid until 2031.
