Fiorentina Pursues Purchase Option for Franco Mastantuono, Real Madrid Involved
Franco Mastantuono is set 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.
Sources from both Italy and Spain are confident that the player has agreed to leave Madrid this summer for a new chapter in Serie A with Fiorentina.
Mastantuono Prepared for Fiorentina
Mastantuono was acquired from River Plate last summer for €45 million, but the young player struggled to secure consistent playing time. Following advice from Jose Mourinho, he is considering a move to Europe to further his development.
Inspired by Nico Paz's experience at Como, Mastantuono has been persuaded to join Serie A just days before his 19th birthday.
A conversation with coach Fabio Grosso is also reported to have been a significant factor in gaining his approval.
The two clubs are currently negotiating the specifics of the deal, particularly the division of the player's salary.
However, according to reports from Sportitalia and Labaro Viola, Fiorentina is also actively seeking to include a purchase option, with a potential counter-option for Real Madrid.
This arrangement would provide Fiorentina with a financial incentive for developing the player over the course of a full season, rather than a simple loan.
