Real Madrid officially announces record signings, rising star Mastantuno appears at Bernabeu

Real Madrid officially announced the signing of Argentine star Franco Mastantuno, who is only 18 years old. This talented young man, known as one of the most dazzling stars in the world football, officially joined the Galaxy Battleship. Nearly two months after signing the contract, Mastantuno officially debuted at the Bernabeu Stadium on his 18th birthday. River Plate Club confirmed that the transfer set the most expensive player sale record in Argentina football history, with a total transfer fee of up to 46 million euros.

At the debut ceremony, Mastantuno wore Real Madrid No. 30 jersey. According to Spanish media reports, he will receive a salary of about 3.5 million euros per year. Although this number is relatively low in Real Madrid, it is already quite considerable for a young rookie.

Real Madrid's signing of Mastantuno this time is regarded as a long-term investment, continuing the club's strategy of vigorously introducing top young talents in the world in recent years. Previously, successful cases such as Vinicius, Rodrigo and Enderick have proved the effectiveness of this strategy. With his outstanding football skills, calm psychological qualities and outstanding performance on the field, Mastantuno is highly expected to quickly integrate into the team and become an important member of the "White Army" in the future.

Mastantuno was born on August 14, 2007 in Asul, Buenos Aires Province. In 2019, he joined the River Plate Youth Training Camp and was promoted to the first team in just five years, becoming one of the youngest players in the club's history.

In February 2024, Mastantuno, who was only 16 years, 5 months and 24 days, scored his first career goal for River Plate, breaking the club's youngest goal record that has been covered for many years. A month later, he won the Argentina Super Cup with the team and won the first important trophy of his personal career.

Mastantuno's biggest advantage lies in his excellent tactical awareness and precise passing ability, able to effectively organize offenses and create scoring opportunities for teammates. During his time at River Plate, he played 61 times and scored 10 goals, which is amazing for a midfielder who is only 18 years old.
