Los Blancos have pulled off a major coup by landing Franco Mastantuono, River Plate’s teenage sensation, despite fierce competition from Liverpool and Arsenal. The 17-year-old, who broke records in the Superclasico and on the international stage, will join Madrid on his 18th birthday for a club-record fee. While the Reds and Gunners fans may be disappointed, Madrid’s youth-first strategy is paying off again—think Vinicius and Bellingham. Did Liverpool really miss out, or is their transfer focus just smarter? #Mastantuono #RealMadrid #LFC #Sports #Soccer
