Real Madrid’s acquisition of Franco Mastantuono from River Plate has convinced the Spanish giants to leave Nico Paz at Como for at least one more season, according to multiple reports.
Xabi Alonso managed to convince Mastantuono to turn down numerous interested suitors for Real Madrid this summer. The Spanish giants have committed a substantial fee of €45 million ($51.7 million) for the services of a 17-year-old playmaker.
The impending arrival of Mastantuono, which is set to be made official on his 18th birthday in August, has directly impacted the future of another languid left-footed attacking midfielder. As reported by , Madrid have opted against triggering the release clause in Paz’s contract to bring the former academy player back to the Spanish capital.
This decision was a consequence of Mastantuono’s arrival, claims.
