Widely regarded as one of Argentinean football’s most promising young talent, Franco Mustantino continues to attract the attention of European football elites.
His impressive performance on the river plate, especially his stunning free-kick goal in the ardent Classico against Boca Junior, and his impressive strike during Coparibatadores’ clash with Barcelona SC, caught the eye of several major clubs.
Among the clubs watching his progress are Real Madrid, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Manchester United.
The Argentinian offensive midfielder is 17 years old and he can also act as a right winger.
Amorim is against Guardiola
Man United head coach Reuben Amorim is also looking to sign a talented midfielder.
Amorim sees Mustantuono as an important piece in a plan to rejuvenate the Red Devils team, pushing the club’s hierarchy to make competitive offers.
Given United’s financial capabilities and global influence, their involvement is expected to significantly increase Mustantouno’s market value, making it a competition to an already intense transfer race.
Man City also took part in the race. Known for its aggressive approach and substantial financial resources in the relocation market, the city reportedly positions itself as a strong competitor.
The club’s vast network and financial muscles will benefit it and will be able to outperform its rivals as negotiations progress.
Spanish giants Real Madrid have shown particular interest in Mustangouno. The club’s scouting network maintains a close tab on youth development, suggesting that they see him as potentially adding to the team.
River Plate is not trying to sell Man United’s target
Despite Madrid’s strong interest, River Plate President Jorge Britono has asserted that Mustantouno should continue to grow at the Argentine club.
Atletico Madrid has also expressed interest in Argentine’s U20 star player. Reports from Spain suggest that Atletico is preparing a bid of 30 million euros to bring the Argentinean sense to the Spanish capital.
Despite strong European interest, Riverplate is determined to hold their valuable assets, at least until the end of the year.
Mastantuono currently has a release clause of 45 million euros, but River Plate’s management is considering raising prices in view of demand from European elites.
Meanwhile, the Manchester giants are also targeting CP star Francisco Trincao’s sporting movements.
