Real Madrid 'send scouts' for €45m player — he compares himself to Julian Alvarez

"Real Madrid have sent their scouts to follow Franco Mastantuono several times and there's a plan to do the same again in the near future," Fabrizio Romano tweeted.

"River Plate gem, being monitored by scouts of several clubs like PSG (not a priority now) and Chelsea. New release clause: €45m."

The Argentine is only 16 years old but he's already made ten first-team appearances for River Plate. He has already become the youngest player to score in the history of the club.

Mastantuono can play as an attacking midfielder and a right winger. As per the player himself, he tries to copy the playing style of Manchester City's Julian Alvarez.
