Real Madrid are in pole position to sign 16-year-old River Plate talent Franco Mastantuno. The teenager has reportedly expressed an interest in playing for Barcelona, and the Blaugrana have also shown an interest in him, but after a conversation with chief scout Johnny Calafat, he will prioritize offers from Los Blancos.
Mastantuono is already impressive for River's first team, and Barcelona have been hot on the scene, as have Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, according to various reports. But after Real Madrid opened contacts with both River and Mastantuno, it looks like they may overtake them.
