Real Madrid has officially announced the loan of promising Argentine midfielder Franco Mastantuono to Serie A club Fiorentina. The deal will see the young talent play in Italy until the end of the 2026-2027 season.
Mastantuono, who arrived at Real Madrid in 2025, has already made a mark despite limited opportunities. He scored three goals across different competitions for the Spanish giants, including matches in LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. Before joining Real Madrid, he had a notable stint with River Plate, where he played 64 games and netted 10 goals, earning a reputation as a rising star.
The 19-year-old midfielder also holds the distinction of being the youngest player to debut for the senior Argentina national team at the age of 16. Despite his potential, he was not selected for the 2026 World Cup squad. Fiorentina, who finished 15th in Serie A last season and were eliminated in the Coppa Italia and UEFA Conference League, will hope Mastantuono can provide a boost to their squad.
