Marca: Mastantono is expected to join Real Madrid after the Club World Cup, and River Plate wants to keep him until the end of the year

On June 9, "Maca" published an article talking about Mastantono's transfer to Real Madrid.

Various signs indicate that the time when Mastantono enters European football will be after the Club World Cup. However, with River Plate reaching an agreement on transfer with Real Madrid, the attacking midfielder still has a slight possibility of completing the transfer ahead of schedule and joining the Galaxy Battleship before the Club World Cup.

According to the Marca, the management of the River Plate has always tried its best to keep the star in the team until at least the end of 2025. Considering that the club will compete in the Liberators Cup in the second half of the year, River Plate's plan has been to convince Mastantono to stay and let him complete the season's journey at the Memorial Stadium. In fact, this plan always exists, and the club even discussed with the players themselves the solution of "if you receive a substantial European offer before the end of the year."

However, the excitement brought by Real Madrid's summoning and the players' eagerness to put on their white jerseys as soon as possible are subverting all the scheduled time plans of the Riverbed. In such operations where transfer agreements have been reached, the player's willingness often becomes a key factor in determining the time of departure. Now, Mastantono's strong will may completely accelerate the transfer process, and now it seems that this may only be something that will be settled in a few days or weeks.
