Sell: Real Madrid has been interested in Mastantono for a long time, and Solari plays a key role in the transfer

According to the "El Larguero", Real Madrid has a long interest in Mastantono. Solari, former head coach of the River Plate and one of Real Madrid's senior executives, played a key role in this transfer.

Argentine football star Mastantono is about to join Real Madrid. The talented player from River Plate will officially become a member of Real Madrid on his 18th birthday, August 14.

Real Madrid began to pay attention to Mastantono when he was 16 years old and had preliminary contact with him. Originally, Real Madrid planned to let Mastantono stay in the Riverbed for another season and join the Galaxy Battleship when he turns 19. However, Paris Saint-Germain's intervention forced Real Madrid to act in advance.

To ensure the signing of the young talent, Sanchez, Carafate, Florentino and Solari worked together, and a phone call from Alonso finally convinced Mastanuoni to join.

Real Madrid allegedly paid more than 60 million euros in transfer fees for this. Antón Meana said: "It's not just to get him adapted, but to hope he can play and contribute his strength immediately." In an interview with TyC Sports, Mastantono said he was persuaded by Alonso to leave the riverbed and go to Europe to develop: "It's not easy to leave the riverbed, but for me, it's a dream come true from the largest club in the Americas to Real Madrid, perhaps the largest club in the world." He also expressed his desire to represent the Argentine national team in the 2026 World Cup and hoped to win multiple titles with his new club: "My goal is to win as many trophys with Real Madrid as possible, including the Champions League and La Liga."

Regarding the upcoming new life, Mastantono said he was not worried about adaptation and revealed that he had begun to get familiar with his future teammates by watching the game video.
