Real Madrid has finalized the agreement with River Plate to sign Franco Mastrantuono, but the question remains as to when the transfer will be made official.
Mastrantuono chose Real Madrid despite receiving significant European offers, most notably from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 17-year-old is said to have begun putting pressure on River Plate to allow him to participate in the 2025 Club World Cup.
Franco Mastrantuono will not play for Real Madrid in the Club World Cup
According to Argentine media reports, River Plate is determined to keep Mastrantuono until the end of the Club World Cup.
The Argentine club made the official announcement, putting an end to all rumors about Real Madrid’s attempts to change its position.
There is also a legal aspect that has made the matter completely settled: the player turns 18 in August, and it would be best if he officially transferred to Real Madrid after that.
Thus, the Argentine player’s first match for Real Madrid will be with the start of the Spanish league, while he will play the entire World Cup with River Plate.
