Franco Mastantuono is expected to leave Real Madrid on loan next season. The club is evaluating a temporary departure for the 18-year-old Argentine to gain experience and regular minutes. The measure follows the path adopted with other young people in the cast.

Real Madrid wants to repeat the strategy used with Endrick. The Brazilian was transferred to Lyon and gained space in a team that competes in European competitions. Mastantuono arrived at Bernabéu from River Plate in 2025 with high expectations. Ele has played in around 30 games so far and scored three goals.

The plan is to send him to a club outside of Espanha that participates in Uefa tournaments. The idea is to avoid big teams from the continent and prioritize projects that give playing time to young talents. The objective is for the attacking midfielder to return more mature to the first team.

Lyon appears as a possible target

Lyon is undergoing reconstruction and investing in young people. The French club is in a position that could lead to Liga from Campeões next season. Endrick has evolved in the environment and Real Madrid is observing the case carefully.

Mastantuono is left-handed and plays on the sides or in the middle. The Lyon offers a style that can support your technical development. Negociações hasn’t started yet but the profile aligns with what Real Madrid is looking for.

Monaco also joins the list

Monaco maintains a tradition of training and valuing young people. The team occupies an intermediate position in Ligue 1 and frequently competes in European competitions. Mastantuono scored a goal against Monaco in a recent match for Real Madrid.

The Monegasque club bets on a dynamic squad and gives opportunities to rising talents. The competitive environment helps in adapting to European football without excessive pressure from a giant.

Opções on Alemanha gain momentum

Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig developed several youngsters that were later sold for high value. Ambos participate in Uefa tournaments most seasons. Real Madrid has had a close relationship with Leverkusen since Xabi Alonso’s time as a coach.

Mastantuono needs minutes to maintain rhythm in the Argentine team. The player was not in Lionel Scaloni’s last call-up. The 2026 Copa of Mundo approaches and regular playing time gains importance.

Como in Itália appears as an alternative

Como has one of the youngest squads in Europa and is surprising in the current season. Nico Paz has established itself there and the team plays offensive football. If you maintain your level, you can guarantee a place in European competition.

Franco Mastantuono could occupy similar space to Paz. The Italian club offers minutes and an environment conducive to growth without the intensity of a top club.

Requisitos from Real Madrid for loan

Real Madrid rules out Spanish teams and European giants. The destination must offer:

  • Participação in Uefa tournaments next season
  • Histórico for developing young talents
  • Tempo plays consistently in important matches
  • Projeto medium to long term without pressure for immediate securities
  • Clima that facilitates cultural adaptation for an 18-year-old player

Outros names like Porto Ajax and Club Brugge also come up in initial conversations. The Merengue club will define the destination after speaking with the player. Mastantuono is aware of the situation and should take advantage of La Liga’s latest rounds to show service.

Arda Güler’s injury opens up space in the remaining six matches. The Argentine will take the field starting this Friday against Real Betis. Boas’s actions can influence the board’s planning.

Mastantuono wants to remain an option for the Argentine national team. Coach Scaloni prepares the roster for Mundo’s Copa in the coming months. Minutos at a high level at Europa help keep the name in the spotlight.

Operation Detalhes

The loan must occur without a purchase option. Real Madrid intends to bring Mastantuono back in 2027 more prepared. The board is closely monitoring his performance in the final stretch of the season.

The Argentine was born in 2007 and arrived at Bernabéu with an immediate future projection. Adapting to European football took time. Agora’s priority is to pace the game without losing ties with the club.
