Álvaro Arbeloa eyeing 2nd Real Madrid youngster for Fulham squad | OneFootball

New Fulham head coach Álvaro Arbeloa has identified a 2nd member of the first-team setup at Real Madrid as a potential addition to his squad for next season.

The Blancos star in question? Franco Mastantuono.

Arbeloa is for his part of course fresh off taking up the reins in his first permanent managerial position, with Premier League outfit Fulham.

After a half-season on the bench at the aforementioned Real Madrid, the Spaniard has already cast his eye back towards his former employers in search of reinforcements for the 2026/27 campaign.

Recent days have seen Fulham tipped as a potential landing spot for frontman Gonzalo García. And also in the sights of the brass at Craven Cottage, it is understood, is Franco Mastantuono.

As per a report from the BBC, as cited by talkSPORT:

‘A loan move for teenage midfielder Franco Mastantuono is being considered by Fulham.’

After a difficult debut campaign at the Bernabéu, it is not considered as out of the question that Argentine international Mastantuono could be farmed out on loan by Real Madrid for the next 12 months.
