Getty/GOALTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Paris Saint-Germain were also vying for his signature, but Madrid were always considered front-runners due to the player’s own preference. Sources close to the negotiations revealed that Mastantuono had long favoured a move to Spain over France, with his sights firmly set on donning the famous white jersey of Real Madrid if a move away from Argentina materialised.
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR MASTANTUONO?
Mastantuono becomes Madrid’s third signing of the summer transfer window. He follows English international right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who joined from Liverpool, and Spanish defender Dean Huijsen, acquired from Bournemouth. All three additions are seen as part of a long-term strategy to refresh and strengthen a Madrid squad that faltered both in Spain and Europe. However, Madrid fans will have to wait a little longer to see their new starlet in action as he will be available only from August 14.
