In recent days, the name of Franco Mastantuono has been circulating insistently around Europe once again: the Argentine talent, born in 2007, is dazzling with River Plate, and his free-kick goal in the Superclásico against Boca Juniors has gone viral worldwide.
During the past summer, Milan had shown keen interest in the player, as Geoffrey Moncada had included him among his list of top prospects.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, Inter have now also entered the race alongside the Rossoneri.
However, for now, writes La Gazzetta, both Milan clubs seem to be out of the running, as the young Argentine star's performances have attracted the attention of the usual powerful European giants. From Real Madrid to Barcelona, with Manchester City and PSG currently leading the race to sign him. River Plate are planning to reach an agreement in the summer, but hope to keep the player on loan for one more year—though much will depend on Mastantuono's own performances. In the meantime, the Millionarios have protected themselves with a release clause reportedly worth around 40.5 million euros.
