Madrid Prospects in Play as Fulham Pushes for Two Real Madrid Talents

Real Madrid want to keep long-term control of the 18-year-old midfielder while more than 5 clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, weigh loan bids.

  • Yesterday, transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Real Madrid is willing to loan out 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono this summer, approving a straight loan exit without a buy option clause.
  • Competing with Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, and Rodrygo for playing time on Madrid's right wing, Mastantuono faces a steep climb; his representatives worry about young players loaned out who struggle to break through upon return.
  • More than 5 clubs in Spain and abroad are pursuing the midfielder, with Fulham manager Arbeloa driving the Londoners' push, while River Plate and Como also circle as potential destinations.
  • Tottenham has been linked with Mastantuono in recent times, though it remains uncertain if the north Londoners will pursue the deal, as they may not favour a loan-only arrangement.
  • Manager José Mourinho wants Mastantuono in camp to define his role in the new project, with the loan strategy keeping the teenager on a development path similar to Endrick while Madrid retains full control of his future.
