Franco Mastantuono (17 years) as a River Plate player has come to an end. The player expected, and they also expected in River, that this road lasts a little more in time, that the club firm a better role in this World Cup in the United States in which it has fallen eliminated in the group stage. He has condemned the defeat against Inter on the last day, also not winning the Monterrey Rayados in the second. Mastantuono leaves good feelings and with the MVP trophy of that duel against Mexicansand knows that now opens a new stage with the Madrid shirt. Although that stage must still wait a little more.
Because Mastantuono, 17, will not land in the white club until he is of legal age (It celebrates the 18 on August 14). It is a requirement that the club has followed Rajatabla with other pearls signed even without having turned 18, such as Rodrygo, Vinicius or Endrick. And it will also be in this case, although Mastantuono has Italian passport and, therefore, will not occupy an extra -community place. But for registration purposes, Madrid will be especially cautious, considering that sanction that it had to comply with the minors of registered foreigners. Mastantuono will not cross the doors of Valdebebas as a Madrid player until August 14.
It is from that date when it can be presented in the Real Madrid city; There is no verdict in this regard, but it is likely that its starting is that same day, without wasting to start working under Xabi Alonso. Franco will reach the dynamics of the team with the preseason well entrance (How much, it depends on how far Madrid arrives at the Club World Cup). But it will not be on vacation until then: the idea now is that you enjoy between two and three weeks of active rest and then, at the end of July, move to Madrid to settle in its new home, be it in a provisional one while doing a deeper search or the definitive one.
Solo work … and supervised
During the two weeks before being officially a Madrid player, he will work alone, although with the supervision of the club. Officially, it cannot be exercised in Valdebebasbut nothing prevents any of the members of the White Technical Corps to supervise in the distance the preparation of the Argentine. Since he cannot be with his teammates, he will work above all the physical plot To get in tune and adapt as soon as possible to European football, faster and more intense than the Argentine and, in general, the one played in South America.
Because Xabi sees in Mastantuono an immediate performance signing. Obviously, he knows that he will need an adaptation time, but the idea is that he can count on minutes from the first moment.
