Real Madrid ready to listen to offers for highly-rated attacking duo this summer | OneFootball

While Real Madrid’s transfer activities have largely focused on incoming players, decisions regarding several young talents will be something to keep an eye on.

In that regard, according to El Debate, Real Madrid are prepared to consider both loan and permanent transfer options for Gonzalo Garcia and Franco Mastantuono during the current transfer window. 

The club’s priority remains building a squad capable of competing immediately, but there is also a clear intention to protect the long-term future of two players regarded as valuable assets.

The situation comes amid what is expected to be one of the busiest summers in recent memory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Florentino Perez has already overseen the arrivals of Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries, while reports continue to suggest that further high-profile signings are being planned.

With competition for places expected to become even stronger, Real Madrid are now evaluating the futures of several younger players who may struggle for regular first-team opportunities.

According to the report, both Gonzalo Garcia and Mastantuono could leave this summer, either temporarily or permanently. 

However, as expected, the club does not want to lose control of either player’s development.

For that reason, any permanent transfer would include buyback clauses that would allow Real Madrid to bring the players back in the future if they fulfil their potential elsewhere.

On that note, Interest in Gonzalo Garcia, in particular, has increased significantly in recent weeks. 

Real Sociedad are understood to be monitoring his situation closely, while Italian giants Juventus, Como and German side Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with the young forward.

As for Mastantuono, the Argentine talent remains highly regarded internally, but his pathway to regular minutes could become increasingly complicated if further attacking reinforcements arrive.
