With the transfer window now closed, Real Madrid officials are reviewing their strategies for the next summer window, adjusting their roster based on players’ fit with their sporting goals. While Real Madrid is moving forward with its current season’s planning, the scouting team led by Juni Calafat continues to track players of interest. However, one player who seems to have been overlooked by the club is significantly affected by this development.
According to Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, there is concern among those close to the talented player that Real Madrid was monitoring this summer. The club’s decision to move away from pursuing Franco Mastrantuono has deeply impacted the young River Plate playmaker, who many now view as having been given a final “farewell” to his dream of joining Real Madrid.
The newspaper reported that attempts to clarify Real Madrid’s stance on Franco Mastrantuono revealed that joining the club has been his dream. However, the decision has been finalized. It remains uncertain what steps Real Madrid will take next, as the attacking midfielder has impressed with his performances in red and white. Nevertheless, prospects for the upcoming summer market are still unclear, and available spots in the squad are increasingly limited.
