Franco Mastantuono ‘to miss’ Real Madrid friendly as Serie A clubs circle | OneFootball

Tuttomercatoweb reports that Real Madrid talent Franco Mastantuono has been left out of the squad for the upcoming friendly with Fiorentina, for transfer-related reasons rather than injury.

The development has fuelled suggestions he could head to Serie A soon, with several Italian clubs circling.

Fiorentina are currently seen as frontrunners after signing fellow Real Madrid prospect Victor Valdepenas. Fabio Paratici’s strong ties with the Spanish club could aid their push, although competition is intense.

Juventus, Milan and Roma are also in pursuit, with Benfica and English sides monitoring the situation.

Real Madrid are only prepared to sanction a loan, following the Endrick model, when the Brazilian joined Lyon in January and thrived in France. That stance complicates matters for Italian suitors who want an option to buy or a deal similar to the one involving Nico Paz and Como.
