It seems that a new conflict will break out between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the upcoming summer transfer market, and the secret lies in a player nicknamed “Messi’s lover.”
This player, according to what was reported by the Spanish media, is Franco Mastantuno, the Argentine River Plate player, and one of the most important talents in the world at the present time.
The 16-year-old player attracted attention with his brilliance with River Plate recently, as he became the youngest player to score for the Argentine club in history.
Mastantuno plays in the attacking midfield position, and is famous for his left foot, so some see him as similar to Messi, and he can be relied upon whether as a winger, playmaker, or even in the middle of the field.
Real Madrid’s initial plan is to sign the player and keep him in Argentina until he turns 18 and joins the team in the summer of 2025, as happened with Endrek in previous years.
But very fierce competition awaits Real Madrid, given that Barcelona and many other major European clubs are monitoring the player and are also seeking his services.
“Messi’s lover” is receiving interest from Manchester City, which has just succeeded in signing his compatriot Claudio Echeveri from River Plate as well, and Borussia Dortmund is also trying to include the promising Argentine.
