Three Serie A clubs linked with Mastantuono
Matteo Moretto reports that Mastantuono is not part of Real Madrid’s plans for 2026-27 and that the Merengues want him to get experience in European football.
The player is eager to return to River Plate, and the Argentine club has already contacted Real Madrid.
Yet, the La Liga giants want the 18-year-old to build experience on the Old Continent, so they are not considering sending him back to Argentina.
Several European clubs are looking to Mastantuono, including some in Serie A. According to Moretto , the most interested Italian sides in Mastantuono are Roma and Fiorentina.

What happened
Real Madrid are willing to let teenage attacking midfielder Franco Mastantuono depart on loan to gain first-team experience. Three Serie A clubs have been linked with a move for the Argentine, who joined Real Madrid from River Plate in 2025. The loan would allow Mastantuono to accumulate regular minutes at a top European level while Real Madrid retain his long-term rights. The identity of the three Italian clubs has not been fully confirmed in the report, but the move signals that competition for his signature in Serie A is concrete.
Chance analysis
Mastantuono is one of Argentina's most hyped young talents, and a loan to Serie A would be a meaningful step in his development. For the interested Serie A clubs, securing a Real Madrid-owned talent on loan is low-risk with high upside. From a competitive standpoint, this does not affect Real Madrid's first-team plans in the short term but reflects a broader trend of Los Blancos stockpiling elite young talent and loaning them out strategically. The story matters mostly for fantasy/lineup prediction systems tracking where Mastantuono ends up.
Real Madrid lose a developmental asset temporarily but retain long-term control; the destination Serie A club gains a high-upside attacking midfielder.
Mastantuono is unlikely to feature for Real Madrid in the short term; if loaned to Serie A, monitor the destination club for his minutes and output.
