The transfer of Franco Mastanuono to Real Madrid arouses enormous expectations. It must be said that the young 17 -year -old crack showed great promises with River Plate and is perceived as one of the future phenomena of world football. The Merengue are specialists in this kind of transfers, going to seek very young players to develop them, such as Vinicius, Fédérico Valverde or Rodrygo.
Marcelo Gallardo, former attacking midfielder from River Plate, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain in particular, which now leads to his old club, spoke on ESPN To explain this departure, and express their regrets on this subject:
“It's natural, we form players for the world. Everything arrives earlier, young people leave faster, and I understand that these are the rules of the game. He was part of our project for next season. We must readjust ourselves, because there are players who, by their profile, are difficult to replace. We knew that he would not finish leaving, but the supporters do not live this kind of departure well. The market dictates the calendar “
Gallardo wishes the best in Mastanuono
Despite this, the former Argentinian international spoke to wish his protégé good luck:
“All I want is that he plays with naturalness, that he manages to put aside everything that is happening around him, which is very difficult. I am not talking about his future life in Madrid, nor of anything outside. I just want him to do what he can do best: play football.”
As a reminder, Mastantuono will only leave River Plate after the Club World Cup. For the moment, his team has won the first meeting in the competition against Urawa Red Diamonds (3-1), and will be opposed to Monterrey this Sunday morning.
