The Argentine Franco Mastantuono said in his presentation as a Real Madrid player, after signing his contract for six years and receiving the shirt with the Dorsal 30, who is going to “leave his life” for the white shirt and be “a fan inside the court”
“It is a very special day for me, today a dream as a footballer is fulfilled and as a person, reaching the world's largest club,” began his Mastantuono speech, 18 years old, without reading any writing and improvising after hearing the reception of President Florentino Pérez.
The Argentine end, who can also act as an offensive and interior flyer, reached the meringue box from River Plate, in an operation that was around 45 million euros. He played 64 games, scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in his passage through the Núñez team.
“I am very happy, I want to convey joy because it will be a day remembered for my story. I thank my people, mom, dad, my brothers, who are indispensable to me. (…) To my group of friends and work, who are always there, without them I would not have been possible,” he continued.
Mastantuono highlighted the values that his family has instilled to reach Real Madrid. “The road has marked me a lot and I have to continue learning a lot about the values of my intimate circle, which is the best I have.”
And he closed his speech thanking the confidence of the Madrid directive, the coaching staff and of the workers of Real Madrid, for the hot reception, and leaving a declaration of intentions to Real Madrid. “I promise that I am going to leave my life on this shirt.”
Mastantuono is one of the main promises of Argentine football and even debuted with the albiceleste two months ago. He played his first game with the world champion team on June 6, against Chile, in a duel of the South American qualifiers.
“I thank the president, the directive, Xabi and his entire team for trusting me and all the people of the club that has made me feel very comfortable. They will be with a fan inside the court and I hope to get very important things with this club. Hala Madrid!”, The young talent said.
