🤔 How many games does Franco Mastantuono have left at River? | OneFootball

Argentine jewel Franco Mastantuono will play the FIFA Club World Cup with River Plate and could play a few more matches before joining Real Madrid.

It's official! Franco Mastantuono has completed the medical examination and signed the contract to become an official Real Madrid player until June 2031. However, he still has several matches left to play with River Plate.

How long will Mastantuono stay at the Núñez club? Not until December, as Jorge Brito and Marcelo Gallardo had hoped, but the 17-year-old player will remain at River until August, as he has to come of age.

Real Madrid will pay the €45 million release clause for his transfer, but will have to wait for the presentation until after August 14, the day Franco Mastantuono turns 18.

In that sense, in addition to playing the Club World Cup, there is a possibility that Mastantuono will play five more matches with River Plate when he returns from the United States.

River Plate will face Platense (H), Instituto (A), San Lorenzo (H), Independiente (A), and Godoy Cruz (H) in the first five matches of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. And the match against Libertad for the first leg of the CONMEBOL Libertadores round of 16 is on the same day as his birthday, but it seems he won't play it.

Anyway, River Plate is preparing for the last performances of a Mastantuono who will be part of Real Madrid's new project with Xabi Alonso as coach.
