Franco Mastantuono is a man in demand, as Liverpool are the latest team to join in the hunt for the Argentine teenager.
According toRiver Noticias, Franco Mastantuono has Liverpool as a suitor ahead of the future, as a host of other clubs are also interested. The Argentine teenager is expected to be on the move from River Plate, as the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City are among his suitors.
Franco Mastantuono was one of the names on the list of many top clubs as he continued to rise in stature at River Plate. The Argentine wonderkid has become a regular for his club, with a departure to one of the big European clubs widely expected to happen sooner rather than later.
Clubs have shownpatience in their wait for the Argentine wonderkid, as South American rules might prevent players before they turn 18. In Mastantuono’s case, he will turn 18 next August, although clubs are ready to strike a deal with River Plate.
He has a $45 million release clause in his contract that rises to $50 million in the last week of any transfer market, meaning his arrival will not be cheap by any means.Real Madrid are considered front runner, with Manchester City and Barcelona also among those keen on the exciting teenager.
Chelsea and Arsenal are also among the mix, and now Liverpool are interested in the teenager. Overall, Mastantuono will have a lot of offers on his table when he does decide to leave River Plate, as the Argentine club will likely look to maximise the demand for the Argentine wonderkid and make a big sale.
Liverpool interested in Franco Mastantuono
Liverpool will begin preparations to sign players that will help Arne Slot’s future squad. The team as a whole is still the same that Jurgen Klopp left behind. Hence, the new boss will have the freedom to build things his way, and Mastantuono might be a player he might be interested in, given his profile and the prospects for the future.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will have to pay a big sum to secure the Argentine wonderkid ahead of big competition. Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona will all give Liverpool big competition in the race for the teenager, as at the end of the day, the money will speak volumes.
