Real Madrid has officially announced the signing of 17-year-old Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono from River Plate on a six-year contract, set to join the club in August 2025. The young attacking midfielder is considered one of the best young talents in world football, with a record-breaking transfer fee in Argentine football history, reportedly around €63 million ($72 million).


Mastantuono's Achievements:

Youngest Scorer in River Plate History: Mastantuono became the youngest goal scorer in River Plate's history in February 2024, winning an Argentine Super Cup with the club.
Youngest Player for Argentina: At 17, he's also the youngest player to feature in an official match for Argentina's national team.
Exceptional Talent: Viewed as one of the best young talents globally, Mastantuono has scored 10 times and registered 7 assists in 61 appearances for River Plate.


  • Immediate Impact Expected: Coach Xabi Alonso believes Mastantuono can make an immediate impact at Real Madrid.
  • Midfield Strength: Mastantuono joins a star-studded Real Madrid squad, adding to their attacking prowess.
  • Club World Cup Participation: He'll play in the Club World Cup with River Plate before joining Real Madrid in August.


Real Madrid has signed 17-year-old Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono from River Plate. He'll play in the Club World Cup with River Plate before joining Los Blancos in August 2025.


“Mastantuono will be a player at our club for the next six seasons, from 14 August 2025 to 30 June 2031,” Real Madrid announced.


“At 17, he is also the youngest player to play an official match for the Argentina national team in its history.” Franco Mastantuono made his national team debut earlier this month against Chile in a World Cup 2026 qualifier.


“Mastantuono executed his release fee clause, along with Real Madrid,” River Plate explained, revealing the deal earns them €45 million, with the rest going largely to taxes.


“Thank you, Franco, for your performance and talent, it has been a pride to see you grow at the club,” the statement continued.


“We wish you all the best in this new era, which comes after the Club World Cup.”


Franco Mastantuono rose through River Plate's academy, making his first-team debut in January 2024.
