Marca: Real Madrid is close to signing Mastantono, players will have to wait until the Club World Cup is over before joining

According to Marca, Real Madrid is very close to signing 17-year-old talented midfielder Mastantono, but the players will have to wait until after the Club World Cup to join. In negotiations with Real Madrid, River Plate has made it clear that the Argentine teenager will continue to play for the team until the end of the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid has agreed with Mastantono on joining, but the key is how River Plate and Real Madrid agree on payment terms, namely how and when to pay a 45 million euro termination fee, or agree on a specific timetable for installments. According to Argentine media reports, River Plate insists on paying the termination fee in six phases. Currently, the player's agent and Real Madrid representatives are heading to the Spanish capital to finalize the negotiation details. After negotiations with Carafate in Buenos Aires, the preliminary conclusion is that Mastantono will join after the Club World Cup.

Mastantono communicated with Alonso to understand his possible role in Real Madrid, so he agreed to join before the start of the new season (that is, at the end of July). Previously, Paris Saint-Germain made it clear that it would not pay a 45 million euro termination fee, so Real Madrid intervened again and was close to signing the new star.
