Franco Mastantuono joins Real Madrid on his 18th birthday, fulfilling a lifelong dream. The Argentine midfielder was presented at an institutional event held at Real Madrid City, with Florentino Pérez welcoming him to the team. Mastantuono signs a six-year contract, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his football career.


“It will be a day I will remember for the rest of my life. I wanted to thank my people...”


Franco Mastantuono's dream has finally come true as he's officially presented as Real Madrid's newest player on his 18th birthday. In an emotional presentation ceremony held at Real Madrid City, Mastantuono expressed his gratitude to everyone who believed in him, saying, “This is a very special day for me, a dream come true as a footballer and as a person.”


Key Highlights of Mastantuono's Presentation:

  • Club President's Words: Florentino Pérez welcomed Mastantuono, highlighting the significance of the day for the young player and his family, who've made sacrifices for him to achieve his dreams.
  • Mastantuono's Promise: The Argentine midfielder promised to give his all for the team, saying, “I will give my all for this shirt — the dream I’ve always had. Today that dream becomes reality, and today it begins.”
  • Coach Xabi Alonso's Influence: Mastantuono revealed that a conversation with Alonso played a significant role in his decision to join Real Madrid, expressing his gratitude for the coach's confidence in him.


Mastantuono joins Real Madrid from River Plate on a six-year deal until June 2031, with the club reportedly paying around €45 million for his transfer, plus taxes amounting to approximately €63 million. He'll wear the number 30 shirt for his first season and might be registered with the Castilla team, potentially allowing Real Madrid to sign another player, such as Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate.




The player's arrival was made official at a ceremony where Florentino Pérez warmly welcomed him. After passing his medical examinations and spending several days in Madrid, the new recruit was formally introduced to the Real Madrid fans. A video showcasing his best moments was played, and Pérez expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season.


“We are just a few days away from the start of a new season, and the Madridistas are once again excited about the challenges that lie ahead,” Pérez said, highlighting the anticipation and eagerness of the team. Given the context, it seems the player in question might be Kylian Mbappé, who joined Real Madrid in July 2024 and played a crucial role in winning the European Supercup against Atalanta, scoring and helping the team secure their Mbappé title.


“We all feel proud to be part of the great Madridista family. This crest is the symbol of a feeling. We are living through a period that will be remembered as one of the most successful in our history.”


“One of the greatest talents that the world of football has produced in our days has arrived at our club.


“Today we welcome Franco Mastantuono. Congratulations, because today your great dream comes true on your birthday. Today is one of the most important days of your life and also for your family. We are very proud to see you happy and facing the challenge of your life.”


“I want to have a special mention for River Plate. It was there that Alfredo di Stefano emerged, who laid the foundations of what we are today. Dear Franco Mastantuono, today you join the long list of Argentine players who have made history at Real Madrid.


“You are on your way with the Real Madrid shirt after becoming the youngest player to make his debut with the Argentine national team and the youngest to score for River Plate. Thank you very much for wanting to be here with us.”




A Dream Come True

After Florentino Pérez, a jubilant Franco Mastantuono took the floor, expressing his gratitude and excitement about joining Real Madrid. “It's a dream come true,” he said, highlighting the significance of this moment for him. Mastantuono's emotional presentation ceremony marked the beginning of his new journey with the Spanish giants, where he will wear the number 30 shirt for his first season.


“Dear president, thank you very much. It is a special day for me. It's a dream come true for me as a player and as a person.


“It will be a day I will remember for the rest of my life. I wanted to thank my people; they are indispensable to me. I love them very much. I want them to enjoy it as much as I do.


“I have to keep learning a lot, but I thank my inner circle for the values they have passed on to me. Today begins the dream of wearing this shirt. Thanks to all the people at the club for giving me this opportunity. You can count on a fan on the pitch, Hala Madrid!”
