The competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid does not stop only on the field, but the competition extends outside the green rectangle in order to sign international deals.
Barcelona in particular is seeking to regain its strength and position in Europe, especially with its suffering in recent years due to the economic crisis that the team is going through.
Barcelona was one of the clubs that exerted the greatest amount of pressure to try to sign Argentine talent Franco Mastantuno, but the circumstances of River Plate and the interest of Real Madrid made things more complicated.
According to information received from Defensa Central: Last week, the Blaugrana club held another meeting with Mastantuno, and found that the Argentine talent has the desire to become a Real Madrid player.
Moreover, River Plate does not like to accept the deals offered by Barcelona, in which the amount is divided into multiple payments divided over different years, without getting practically anything at the beginning.
The network added: Real Madrid has everything very advanced, because the desire of the player Mastantuno is fixed. However, Euros were also firm, and the appearance of Manchester United caused them to change their minds. Madrid and River still need to finalize the details of the agreement, and now everything is at an impasse. .
Madrid is in no hurry, because the player is not a top priority, despite what has leaked from his entourage in recent months. They do not want to make a crazy investment in a player who has not yet proven that he can earn a place in the first team of the best club in the world.
They will remain close to him, monitoring the progress he has been making in recent months. If he really wants to wear a Merengue shirt, he will wait until he continues to play for River Plate otherwise he will show that his absolute priority was not to sign for Real Madrid.
