River Plate Seeks Mastantuono Return; Real Madrid Favors European Loan Amid Interest from Juventus and Fulham
According to ESPN, Argentine club River Plate is attempting to re-sign attacking midfielder Mastantuono from Real Madrid, with club president Núñez making inquiries and coach Coudet personally calling the player. However, Real Madrid plans to loan the 18-year-old Argentine to a European club for one season without a buy option, similar to Endrick's move. Manager Mourinho has approved the loan after assessing that Mastantuono needs more playing time, especially following Bernardo Silva's arrival. Multiple European clubs are interested, including Getafe, Real Betis, Villarreal, Real Sociedad, Juventus, and Fulham. Notably, Fulham's new coach Álvaro Arbeloa also wants to bring in Gonzalo García. Real Madrid views Mastantuono as a key future asset and insists on no buy clause. The player himself prefers to stay in Europe for competitive development over returning to River Plate. A decision is expected in the coming weeks.
