Real Madrid target new midfielder, want to sign him asap (reliability: 5 stars)

Real Madrid are determined to sign Franco Mastantuono as soon as possible, reports Marca's Jose Felix Diaz.

The 16-year-old Argentine is one of the most promising attacking midfielders in the world right now. He is highly valued for his playmaking skills, on-the-ball elegance and a strong left foot.

Mastantuono's release clause with River Plate stands at €45m, the current deal expiring in December 2026. The teenager is being targeted by multiple big clubs already.

The youngster's signing would probably be great news for Nico Paz who is also an Argentine gem playing for Real Madrid.
