Fiorentina Pushing for Mastantuono Purchase Option with Real Madrid
Franco Mastantuono is slated to arrive in Italy on Wednesday as Fiorentina and Real Madrid finalize the details of his potential transfer. Reports suggest the loan agreement may include an option for Fiorentina to buy the player permanently.
Multiple reliable sources in both Italy and Spain indicate that the young player has agreed to leave Real Madrid this summer to embark on a new chapter in Serie A with Fiorentina.
Mastantuono Prepared for Fiorentina Move
Mastantuono was acquired from River Plate last summer for a reported €45 million. However, the teenager found consistent playing time challenging at Real Madrid. Following Jose Mourinho's advice, he is now seeking an opportunity elsewhere in Europe to foster his development.
Inspired by the positive impact that a stint at Como had on Nico Paz's career, Mastantuono has been persuaded to join Serie A just days before his 19th birthday.
A crucial phone call with coach Fabio Grosso reportedly played a significant role in securing the player's consent.
The two clubs are currently negotiating the specifics of the transfer, with a key point of discussion being the allocation of his salary.
Furthermore, according to reports from Sportitalia and Labaro Viola, Fiorentina is actively working to incorporate a purchase option into the deal, which would also grant Real Madrid a counter-option. This arrangement would offer Fiorentina a financial incentive for their role in developing the player over the course of a full season, rather than a simple loan.
