Mastantuono's staggering salary at Real Madrid

Franco Mastantuono will receive a salary of 3.5 million euros/year at Real Madrid - according to revelations from TyC Sports.

Franco Mastantuono will receive a salary of 3.5 million euros/year at Real Madrid.

This figure is equivalent to about 4 million USD and is shocking in Argentina, as it far exceeds all the young talents who have left River, including Claudio Echeverri. – who only receives nearly 900,000 euros/year at Manchester City.

The salary offered to Mastantuono reflects Real Madrid's absolute faith in the 2007-born player, who will officially debut on August 14 - the day he turns 18. He has signed a contract until 2031 and is expected to quickly adapt to contribute to the first team under new coach Xabi Alonso.

The recruitment of Mastantuono was accelerated by Real Madrid after Paris Saint-Germain showed special interest. Although they had been following the young midfielder for a long time, it was the pressure from PSG that forced the Spanish Royal team to act decisively, and it only took a short time to reach an agreement with River Plate.

The total value of the deal is up to 63.2 million euros, including taxes and fees, making Mastantuono the most expensive contract in the history of Argentine football for a player under the age of 18.

In an interview with DAZN, Mastantuono revealed that it was a personal call from coach Xabi Alonso that was the deciding factor: “The way he spoke to me made me feel trusted. That call had a lot of weight for me.”

Coach Xabi Alonso may give Mastantuono a chance in the near future.

Although he cannot play immediately due to not being old enough to register for official matches, Mastantuono is expected to take his first steps at Real Madrid as soon as he is old enough. With Jude Bellingham injured, the opportunity to play earlier may open up for him, although the possibility of starting immediately is not high.

The cases of Arda Güler and Endrick are clear evidence that talent alone is not enough to break into the Real squad. But with a high salary, support from the coaching staff and great potential, Mastantuono has enough luggage to affirm his name at Santiago Bernabéu.
