While River has an irregular performance that is far from expected, there are some players who stand up for the team, and one of them is Franco Mastantuono. At just 17 years old, he was the standout player against Talleres, creating several goal opportunities, and each week he confirms that he is one of the highest points of the Millonario.
Due to the great level he has been showing, on ESPN's F90 program, Oscar Ruggeri decided to use his contacts to try to open the doors of Europe to the young promise. Who did he talk to? None other than Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid.
"You have to tell him: sign Mastantuono, like Diego (Maradona) did by telling him to sign Mbappé," his program colleagues began insisting. "Send him a message," they added, while Ruggeri recounted an anecdote about his relationship with the Merengue boss.
