Real Madrid transfer targets 2025,PSG activate release clause |
🌟 Who is Franco Mastantuono?
Franco Mastantuono is widely considered Argentina’s next big talent, having made his professional debut for River Plate in January 2024. Despite his age, the attacking midfielder has become a regular starter and a fan favorite.
🔹 Appearances (2024): 61
🔹 Goals: 10
🔹 Assists: 7
This season alone, Mastantuono has already racked up seven goals and four assists in just 19 outings, putting him firmly on the radar of Europe’s elite clubs.
⚔️ Real Madrid vs PSG: The Transfer Battle
Real Madrid have long been interested in Mastantuono and even attempted to secure his transfer last year. However, the move fell through, and now PSG are ready to capitalize.
🔺 PSG’s strategy: Activate the $45M release clause immediately.
🔻 Real Madrid’s hesitation: They admire the player but consider the price tag too steep and are delaying a formal offer.
Despite PSG’s aggressive approach, Mastantuono’s heart reportedly lies with Real Madrid, and he is willing to wait for an offer from the LaLiga giants.
🇦🇷 Player’s Personal Preference and Development Plan
Franco Mastantuono has expressed a desire to remain in Argentina until December 2025, in order to help River Plate compete in the FIFA Club World Cup and Copa Libertadores. PSG are aware of this and are planning to buy the player now and loan him back to River Plate for the rest of the year.
This would mirror recent transfer strategies used by top clubs to secure young talent while allowing them to continue developing at their current clubs.
Juventus Eye Loan Move for Real Madrid’s Endrick Amid Uncertain Future
In related transfer news, Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Endrick on loan from Real Madrid for the 2025-26 season, as per fichajes.net (via GOAL).
📉 Endrick’s Current Status at Real Madrid
The Brazilian striker joined Los Blancos from Palmeiras last summer with high expectations. However, under former manager Carlo Ancelotti, he struggled to get consistent playing time.
🔹 2024-25 Season Stats:
• 37 Appearances
• 7 Goals
• 1 Assist
• Only 3 starts in 22 La Liga games
With Xabi Alonso set to take over as head coach, Endrick’s future remains uncertain, especially with attacking superstars like Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo ahead of him.
🔁 Why a Loan to Juventus Makes Sense
A season-long loan to Juventus could offer Endrick the regular minutes and Champions League exposure he needs. For Real Madrid, it’s an ideal way to develop the youngster without stalling his growth.
