Fiorentina Pursues Mastantuono with Purchase Option, Real Madrid Involved
Franco Mastantuono is expected to arrive in Italy on Wednesday as Fiorentina and Real Madrid finalize the details of his potential transfer. Reports indicate that the loan agreement may include a purchase option.
Multiple sources from Italy and Spain suggest that the player has agreed to leave Madrid this summer for a new experience in Serie A with Fiorentina.
Mastantuono Ready for Fiorentina Move
Mastantuono was acquired from River Plate last summer for €45 million. However, the young talent found limited playing time, prompting advice from Jose Mourinho to seek opportunities elsewhere in Europe to foster his development.
Witnessing the positive impact of a stint at Como on Nico Paz, Mastantuono was persuaded to move to Serie A just days before his 19th birthday.
A crucial phone call with coach Fabio Grosso is also reported to have been instrumental in securing the player's approval.
The two clubs are currently negotiating the specifics of the deal, primarily concerning the division of the player's salary.
However, Sportitalia and Labaro Viola report that Fiorentina is actively working to incorporate a purchase option into the agreement, with a counter-option for Real Madrid.
This arrangement would provide Fiorentina with a financial incentive for developing the player over a full season, rather than a simple loan without an acquisition clause.
