Franco Mastantuono could become one of the most intriguing young talents available on the market this summer, with several Serie A clubs reportedly keeping a close eye on his situation at Real Madrid.
According to Calciomercato, the Spanish giants may consider allowing the highly rated Argentine midfielder to leave temporarily in order to gain regular first-team experience elsewhere.

Despite being regarded as one of Argentina’s brightest prospects, the 2007-born playmaker faces enormous competition for minutes in Madrid.
For that reason, a loan move could be viewed as the ideal solution for both player and club, giving Mastantuono the opportunity to continue his development at a high competitive level while remaining tied to the “Merengues” long-term project.
Among the clubs showing interest, Como 1907 are believed to be seriously evaluating the possibility of bringing the youngster to Serie A.
The Italian side have already built a positive relationship with Real Madrid following the successful arrival of Nico Paz, and they could attempt a similar formula for Mastantuono.
Como’s ambitious project and willingness to trust young talents may play an important role in any future negotiations.

Inter Ahead of Juventus in the Race
Inter Milan are also reportedly monitoring the situation closely and are currently considered ahead of Juventus in the race for the Argentine midfielder.
While Juventus have expressed appreciation for the player’s technical qualities and long-term potential, the Bianconeri have yet to make concrete progress toward a deal.
Possible discussions could involve either a straight loan agreement or a permanent transfer with a buy-back clause favoring Real Madrid at a predetermined fee. However, at this stage, no advanced negotiations have taken place between Juventus and the Spanish club.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Mastantuono’s future is expected to attract increasing attention across Europe, especially from clubs eager to invest in elite young talent.
