Argentina HubThe Argentina national team is in full preparation for the 2026 World Cup. In this context, manager Lionel Scaloni is keeping a close eye on the development of young Argentine footballers in Europe.
Who is Mastantuono?
Franco Mastantuono is one of the great promises of Argentine football. He arrived at Real Madrid from River as a bet for the future, but his first season has not had the expected impact.
What happened to Mastantuono at Real Madrid?
The midfielder found himself with strong internal competition and few real opportunities to establish himself, which slowed his progress in this start of the European cycle.
| Team | Season | Games played |
|---|---|---|
| Real Madrid | 2025-2026 | 10 |
What's next for Mastantuono?
Given this scenario, Real Madrid is seriously considering the possibility of a loan so that Mastantuono can continue his development in a more favorable environment. River emerges as a very attractive alternative.
The club's intention is not to get rid of the player, but to allow him to recover his competitive rhythm and confidence with more continuity.
Last result: Angola 0-2 Argentina (2025-11-14). The Argentina national team is on a 3-game winning streak.
