Franco Mastantuono Prioritises Real Madrid Over PSG in €45 Million Transfer Chase
Argentine wonderkid Franco Mastantuono has put talks with PSG on hold as he awaits the outcome of negotiations with Real Madrid. PSG were ready to meet River Plate’s €45 million release clause, but the 16-year-old is keen to fulfil his dream of joining Los Blancos.
With the summer transfer window heating up, Real Madrid has received a major boost in their pursuit of River Plate’s Argentine wonderkid, Franco Mastantuono. The 16-year-old attacking midfielder had been strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, who were ready to activate his €45 million release clause and finalize the deal this week. However, Mastantuono has paused negotiations with the French club, choosing instead to prioritize discussions with Real Madrid.
This development comes as Los Blancos re-engaged in talks with River Plate and the player's camp after a period of silence. The key twist, as reported by Matteo Moretto, is Mastantuono’s personal desire to fulfil a childhood dream by playing at the Santiago Bernabéu. Despite PSG’s swift and aggressive approach, the player’s preference has shifted the momentum back in Madrid’s favour.
Mastantuono has already made headlines with River Plate, recently scoring in the Copa Libertadores against Barcelona SC on May 8, 2025, in Guayaquil. His decision to wait on Real Madrid’s offer could prove crucial, especially as the Spanish giants continue building a new era with emerging talents. If successful, this deal could add another gem to Madrid’s growing list of young stars.
