Liverpool attempt to snatch WONDERKID from Real Madrid | OneFootball

Real Madrid win race for Mastantuono

He has scored a couple of sensational goals this year - including a world-class freekick against Superclasico rivals Boca Juniors - and is destined to move this summer.

Currently with River for the FIFA Club World Cup, it’s expected that Mastantuono will transfer to Europe in August once he turns 18.

Disappointingly for Liverpool and other interested clubs it looks like Real Madrid have won the race for Mastantuono - agreeing to pay around €45m for the starlet.

Liverpool tried to land Mastantuono

But now it’s been revealed that the Reds made a last-ditch effort to convince Mastantuono and his entourage to choose Anfield.

That’s according to the latest report in TBR Football - which claims that FIVE Premier League clubs in total attempted to wrestle the top prospect away from Madrid.

“In the last six weeks – Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle all made a play to land the River Plate sensation,” the report reads.

“However, he opted for Real Madrid, who were long-term favourites for the attacking midfielder.”
