Real Madrid weighs loan move for Franco Mastantuono, Fulham among interested clubs
Real Madrid is evaluating a season‑long loan for 18‑year‑old Argentine forward Franco Mastantuono. The club, which paid €63.2 million for him last summer, wants him to gain regular playing time in Europe rather than remain on the margins of a deep squad.
Mastantuono, who logged about 1,500 minutes, 17 starts and three goals in his debut season, has expressed a desire to return to River Plate, and the Argentine side is keen to bring him back. However, a move back to Argentina is off the table, with the focus on a loan to a European team. Fulham and Fiorentina are the leading suitors, while Juventus has also been mentioned but does not rank him as a priority.
The loan would allow Mastantuono to develop in a competitive environment and potentially return stronger to Real Madrid.
