Real Madrid, Fiorentina and Franco Mastantuono
Wednesday
Franco Mastantuono is close to joining Fiorentina on loan from Real Madrid for the coming season. Madrid reportedly refused to include any purchase option, ensuring the 18-year-old Argentine returns after gaining regular first-team experience in Serie A.
Mastantuono made 23 league appearances during his first Madrid season but faces intense competition for minutes. The anticipated arrival of Yan Diomande would further restrict his opportunities, making a temporary move the preferred development route.
