This summer, Real Madrid signed Argentina international Mastantuono from River Plate for 45 million euros. A few days ago, former Real Madrid youth training scout Josele González revealed in an interview with Gol Doble that Mastantono had almost reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid at that time.
Josele González said: "In my opinion, Mastantono has already stood out in the Argentine league. When I saw him four years ago, I thought he was as fast as a rocket. His team gave him good guidance, and he himself is also very focused and family-oriented."
"When I saw him in the El Clasico in Argentina, I knew he was ready to go to Europe. I was told that day that Mastantono would go to Atletico Madrid. Although several clubs were interested in him, Atletico Madrid had almost reached an agreement with him at that time."
