Franco Mastantuono could be set for a temporary exit from Real Madrid as early as this summer. According to several European outlets, Juventus are showing keen interest in the Argentine attacking midfielder and are currently in talks with the Spanish club over a potential loan deal.

Signed from River Plate as one of South America’s brightest football prospects, the 18-year-old endured a mixed debut season in Madrid. Despite making several La Liga appearances, he struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. With fierce competition within the Merengues’ squad, Madrid’s management believes that a loan spell is the best way to accelerate his development.

However, Real Madrid remains firm on one point: a permanent transfer is not on the table. The Spanish club sees the Argentine as a key part of its long-term project and simply wants to give him the chance to gain top-level experience. Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, and the future of the young Argentine international could soon be heading toward Turin.
