Franco Mastantuono is one of the most expensive players in this transfer market.

With his transfer to Real Madrid, the native of Azul became one of the most sought-after footballers in the world

At just 17 years old, Franco Mastantuono shook up the market with his transfer from River to Real Madrid  in a deal worth 45 million euros. These figures made him the most expensive sale in the history of the Millonario and, currently, the only transfer from South America to Europe within the top 10 of this transfer window.

According to the specialized outlet Transfermarkt, the signing of the young player by Los Blancos makes him the ninth most valuable player of this transfer window.
