Romano: Real Madrid new player Mastantono completes physical examination and joins the Club World Cup first in August

transfer expert Romano confirmed that Real Madrid's new aid Mastantono has completed the transfer physical examination this summer and will first represent River Plate to play in the Club World Cup, and then officially join the Galaxy Battleship in August. The Argentine star signed with Real Madrid until 2031, and his transfer process shows the club's dual plan for "a battle and the future".

Romano revealed in an exclusive report: "The physical examination was completed at a professional medical center in Buenos Aires, and all indicators met expectations. Mastantono's contract contains a 120 million euro termination fee clause. Real Madrid has designed a transition plan of 'loan first and then joining the team' to ensure that he can not only accumulate experience in the Club World Cup, but also seamlessly connect Real Madrid's pre-season preparations." Data shows that the 19-year-old Mastantono has contributed 7 goals and 5 assists to River Plate this season, and he averaged 1.9 successful passes and an 82% pass success rate, showing a maturity beyond age.

For Real Madrid, this deal is a key move in the "South American talent mining plan". Sports Director Pintus said: "Mastantono's technical characteristics are highly consistent with Real Madrid's system - he is competent as a left winger and a guest midfielder, and his dribbling breakthrough and finishing ability in front of the goal is particularly outstanding. Letting him finish the Club World Cup first is a responsible arrangement for the player's career development." It is reported that Real Madrid's scout team has tracked its growth trajectory for more than two years, and finally won the competition with Barcelona and Manchester City.

River Plate is open to the transaction. The club chairman made it clear: "We understand the players' willingness to pursue a higher platform. Real Madrid's quotation meets expectations and allows him to complete the journey of the Club World Cup. This is the best solution for all parties." Mastantono himself also spoke on social media: "Joining Real Madrid is a childhood dream, but now we must focus on helping River Plate achieve good results in the Club World Cup. At the Bernabeu in August, I am ready!"

"Marca" analyzed that this transaction reflects the "younger + localization" team building direction of Real Madrid - after Enderick, Mastantono has become another South American genius to join. The club hopes to reduce investment risks through the "observation first and then buyout" model. As Romano emphasized: "Real Madrid's layout in the South American market has formed a system, from scouting network to transfer negotiations, it has shown professionalism beyond its competitors."

As the Club World Cup approaches, Mastantono's dual identity has become the focus - it is not only the core player of River Plate's championship, but also the star of hope for Real Madrid's future. This special state of "stepping on two ships with one foot" may become a new sample of the international transfer market, and his performance in both events will also directly affect Real Madrid's tactical map in the new season.
