Real Madrid shut down Italian giant’s attack for star player

Franco Mastantuono’s future is currently at Real Madrid. Despite the interest of European clubs, including Napoli, who even investigated a possible transfer, the Spanish club closed the door to any negotiations, even without a formal proposal. Mastantuono is considered a fundamental part of Real’s long-term strategy, and confidence in the Argentine’s potential is complete, reinforced by the investment of more than 60 million euros made by the club last summer.

Real Madrid shut down Italian giant’s attack for star player

The young striker arrived in Europe with an immediate impact. In just two matches he secured a place in Xabi Alonso’s starting XI and, shortly after, he became the second youngest player to start in the Champions League for Real Madrid. With personality and good performances, he quickly stood out, scoring his first goal against Levante and becoming the fourth youngest player to score goals for the club in League history, at just 18 years and 40 days old. His weight in the team was so great that the club chose to prevent his participation in the U20 World Cup in October, in which Argentina reached the final and lost to Morocco.

INJURY

However, Mastantuono’s trajectory suffered a setback on November 3, when he suffered pubalgia that forced him to take a break and undertake a delicate recovery process. This is a dangerous injury, which requires patience, load control and gradual recovery, unlike other physical problems whose time frames are more predictable. Since then, the Argentine has had few opportunities on the pitch, but his goal of establishing himself as a Real Madrid star remains intact.
