Huge blow for Paris Saint-Germain. Despite initially giving the green light to PSG, Franco Mastantuono has made a last-minute U-turn and signed with Real Madrid instead.
From PSG’s top target to Madrid’s latest gem
The 17-year-old Argentine prodigy was on the verge of joining PSG: a deal was in place with River Plate, he spoke directly with Luis Enrique, and a career plan had been crafted by Luis Campos. But Florentino Pérez stepped in late, flipped the script, and convinced the player to join Madrid. A brutal turnaround.
A future star secured by Madrid
Mastantuono is already the youngest goalscorer in River Plate’s history, and he’s broken records with Argentina as well. Now a future starter for Xabi Alonso, he’s seen as a cornerstone of Real’s long-term project.
For PSG, who saw him as the centerpiece of their rebuild, it’s a major mercato setback. The summer window opens with a slap in the face.
