Barcelona are trying to strengthen their ranks to compete with Real Madrid, who aspire to win all the titles in the coming years.
But they do not have the financial capacity to pay the transfer value, salaries and register players, which is why it was difficult for them to sign Nico Williams, who they considered a fait accompli but the opposite happened.
According to information from Defensa Central: Real Madrid are ahead of them when it comes to signing young talents, because most of them want to join the best club in the world and in the last few hours they spoke again with the agent of Franco Mastrantuono, the talent of River Plate of Argentina and he was very clear in his answer: “I want to play for Real Madrid”.
The young Argentine midfielder does not want to listen to Barcelona’s offer, because he has always dreamed of joining Real Madrid and his transfer to the royal club is currently suspended, but it could be activated very soon. Everything will depend on the situation of the team and the player’s performance in the coming months.
It is true that he is a player who excites some members of Real Madrid, but they have not yet agreed to sign the player at this time and the player’s release clause of 45 million euros seems excessive for the club. The newspaper concluded: Fortunately, there is a good relationship between the two clubs and an agreement can be reached on the transfer fee and the player’s integration into the Madrid squad. At the moment, Mastrantuono does not have a place, but with the departure of Modric, and perhaps Ceballos in 2025, the Argentine could find his place.
