The final structure of the transfer will be a straight, dry loan. This ensures that Mastantuono will return directly to the Spanish capital at the end of the current season, with no permanent purchase option included in the deal.
Crucially, a financial compromise has been reached regarding the youngster's salary for the duration of his stay. Los Blancos have agreed to cover a significant portion of his wages, with Fiorentina also contributing a share to help finalise the temporary switch. This collaborative approach to the player's wages was instrumental in getting the deal across the line after weeks of complex discussions.
The 2007-born star, who hails from Azul in Argentina, has given his full approval to the transfer. Fiorentina's management worked diligently to convince the young playmaker that a move to Florence would be the perfect step for his burgeoning career.
The Italian club have moved swiftly to organise the final logistical details. They are actively attempting to bring the South American starlet to Italy as early as this evening to complete the necessary transfer formalities. His imminent arrival in Florence will allow him to integrate into his new surroundings as quickly as possible.

Upon his arrival in Italy, Mastantuono will immediately undergo his routine medical examinations. Once those tests are successfully completed, he will put pen to paper on his new one-year contract.
The move to Italy will allow the gifted midfielder to gain incredibly valuable first-team experience. Once the Serie A season officially concludes, the Argentine will pack his bags and head back to Madrid, hoping to use his Italian experience to break into their star-studded first team.
