The 2007-born Argentine, who also holds an Italian passport, is currently under contract with Real Madrid but could leave the Spanish giants on loan after struggling to establish himself in one of Europe’s most competitive squads.
Juventus Monitoring a Creative Solution for Mastantuono
Mastantuono is viewed as a player capable of adding creativity and unpredictability to Juventus’ attack.
Comfortable as both an attacking midfielder and a right winger, the 19-year-old possesses the technical quality and vision to provide the decisive final pass—a trait the Bianconeri have lacked in recent seasons.
The Argentine also offers a goal threat. Before making the move from River Plate to Real Madrid, he impressed in Argentina with three goals and three assists in just ten Apertura appearances, showcasing the finishing ability and long-range shooting that made him one of South America’s brightest prospects.
As Tuttosport reports, Juventus are carefully evaluating the opportunity, especially since Real Madrid are willing to let the youngster leave on a straight loan.
The Spanish club still believes in his long-term potential and has no intention of selling him permanently, preferring to give him regular playing time elsewhere before bringing him back.

Fiorentina Make Their Move
Juventus are not alone in the race. Fiorentina have stepped up their interest in recent hours and are pushing to secure Mastantuono’s signature, adding another twist to the transfer battle.
The Viola have already made enquiries and are believed to be moving quickly to convince the player.
The situation at Real Madrid has become increasingly difficult for Mastantuono, with fierce competition for places.
The arrivals and presence of stars such as Jude Bellingham, Brahim Díaz and Bernardo Silva have significantly reduced his opportunities to break into the first team. Despite his limited role in Madrid, the talented playmaker remains highly regarded across Europe.
His technical ability, intelligence on the ball and enormous potential continue to attract major clubs, while his popularity has also exploded off the pitch, with his social media following reaching over 3.5 million.
According to Tuttosport, the player’s priority is clear: he wants regular playing time above all else. With Juventus and Fiorentina both interested, the project that offers him the best opportunity to develop and play consistently could ultimately decide his future.
