Mastantuono's non-exclusivity reduces interest from Real Madrid

Franco Mastantuono's breakthrough at River Plate astonished Argentina and soon generated repercussions in the rest of the world. The Argentinian made his debut at the age of 16 and put in some impressive performances. In today's football, it is common for the big teams to keep a close eye on young talents who are starting to make a name for themselves.

As a result, the player was linked for months with Real Madrid. Now, according to 'Marca', the positions are far apart.

The La Liga side have not liked everything that has been generated around the Argentinian player, starting with rumours that the transfer to River Plate was almost a done deal. Information like this also serves to encourage other clubs to consider a move for the player, something that has been happening over the last few months.

And Madrid will not get into a race for Mastantuono. A transfer that has been influenced by many interests of clubs and representatives. A process that now seems much more complex and one that Real Madrid do not want to play as they do not intend to be part of a public transfer of Mastantuono.

'Los Blancos' believe that Real Madrid's image could have been used to increase the player's price and claims. A game already seen in football, but one that the Spanish team do not intend to play.
