Real Madrid are set to sign Franco Mastantuono next week, with the player having agreed on everything.
A new twist has now emerged in the transfer saga, with Madrid finding a loophole to bring him to Spain before he turns 18 in August.
“After submitting various questions to FIFA, Real Madrid’s management has found a way for the player to finally switch confederations without any problems before he turns 18.”
In that case, Real Madrid can take Mastantuono to the Club World Cup as one more midfielder.
Real Madrid are in need of a central/attacking midfielder, with Luka Modric leaving the club. Mastantuono could be one more midfield addition for Xabi Alonso at the Club World Cup.
