Inter Miami’s coach Javier Mascherano is confident that Franco Mastantuono, the latest signing for Real Madrid, has the necessary traits to thrive at the Santiago Bernabeu. The 17-year-old recently joined Los Blancos but will continue playing with River Plate until the Club World Cup concludes. In an interview with Ole, Mascherano praised Mastantuono, calling him an exceptional player. He is making a significant move. “He is part of one of the top teams globally, such as River, but when clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona express interest, it’s hard to turn them down,” Mascherano stated to Ole. “I trained him during the Argentina U20 team era when I was the national team’s coach.” He is an outstanding athlete, possessing numerous skills and a critical mindset. “He has every attribute needed to thrive in Europe.” Ultimately, it will be up to him to sustain his performance and prove his worth as time progresses.
