Argentine wonderkid turns down more money from PSG in favour of Real Madrid – report | OneFootball

Franco Mastantuono has been the hottest topic in the transfer market lately, with the Argentine starlet currently in the middle of a tug-of-war between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid have been following Mastantuono closely for quite some time now but the River Plate star has also emerged as a target for PSG lately.

The recently-crowned UCL champion are determined to get their hands on Mastantuono as they look to shore up their ranks in the creative department.

Mastantuono rejects PSG move in favour of Real Madrid

However, a recent report from journalist German Garcia Grova has shed new light on the Mastantuono transfer saga.

As per the report, both Real Madrid and PSG are ready to offer around €40 million in the form of installments while paying a significant down payment.

PSG are ready to offer a bit more money than Real Madrid. But it appears Mastantuono prefers to play for Los Blancos.

This comes on the back of an earlier claim made by Fabrizio Romano, who suggested that the Argentine has agreed personal terms with Real Madrid.

A move to the Santiago Bernabeu is considered Mastantuono’s dream move and the player, therefore, is ready to push for a move to Real Madrid.

However, the tricky part for Real Madrid will be to negotiate a deal with River Plate as they do not wish to meet the player’s €40 million release clause this summer.

Keeping that in mind, it will be interesting to see if the installment-deal works out for Real Madrid.

But if it does, it won’t be surprising to see the Argentine join the club at the end of the year, after the player features in the FIFA Club World Cup and the Copa Libertadores.
