Real Madrid's busy summer window continues with capture of PSG target Franco Mastantuono - but Argentine starlet will only join after River Plate's Club World Cup campaign

<p>To secure Mastantuono’s signature, Real Madrid triggered the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/franco-mastantuono-real-madrid-arrival-delayed-river-plate-press-wonderkid-stay-despite-40m-release-clause-agreement/bltd35a257973591137" target="_blank">release clause in his River Plate contract,</a> which stood at €45 million (£38.5m). The figure represents a record-breaking outgoing transfer for the Argentine club, surpassing the €44m fee they received for Enzo Fernandez when he moved to Benfica in 2022. He has signed a six-year deal with Los Blancos, which will keep <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/franco-mastantuono-river-plate-new-phil-foden-real-madrid/bltea5700869316f6b1" target="_blank">him at the club until June 30, 2031.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>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.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mastantuono broke into River Plate’s senior team in January 2024, making his debut at the tender age of 16. That milestone placed him as the third-youngest debutant in the storied club’s history. Since then, he has amassed 61 appearances, scoring 10 goals and registering seven assists, a remarkable return for someone still in their teens.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>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.</p>
