Real Madrid agree personal terms with Mastantuono

Franco Mastantuono's future seems to be getting clearer. After approaching PSG, Madrid's joining of the race as completely changed the scenario and the talented Argentine footballer is just a step away from joining the ‘Merengue’ team.

That is what Gaston Edul has reported, who points out that right now the Spanish team and River are negotiating the terms of the transfer. The thing is that the 'Merengues' are not very convinced to pay the release clause -45 million-. Despite this discrepancy, the journalist believes that the agreement is close to happen.

Meanwhile, Jose Felix Daz has pointed out in ‘Marca’ that Juni Calafat, Madrid's scouting manager, is returning to the Spanish capital after his trip to Buenos Aires to convince the player. The ‘Merengue’ emissary has not travelled alone, as he has been accompanied by the agent of the playmaker to finalise the details.

If Mastantuono was more than delighted with the possibility of joining Madrid, the call from Xabi Alonso has convinced him completely. The Toulouse-born player told him that he will be an important player. The next few hours will be key to see if everything is resolved. What is clear is that the Argentine gem will play the Club World Cup with River.
