River Plate have convinced Real Madrid to let them keep Franco Mastantuono for the Club World Cup, which is a huge boost for the Argentinian club. If you haven’t seen the video of the 17-year-old scoring a stunning free-kick against arch-rivals Boca Juniors in April, watch it now. Premier League clubs expressed an interest in the young forward but, when Real Madrid come knocking, few players reject the chance to move to the Bernabéu. Mastantuono is such an exciting talent; when he made his debut for Argentina earlier this month in a World Cup qualifier against Chile, he was 17 years and 296 days old, a new record for a competitive match. Real Madrid spent €45m to sign the talented right winger, who has a low centre of gravity, an eye for a defence-splitting pass, a wand of a left foot. Sound familiar?
