Alonso's Words Gave Me Motivation I Needed To Make The Leap: Mastantuono

By IANS News June 25, 2025 • 13:34 PM View: 466

FIFA Club World Cup: Teenage River Plate forward Franco Mastantuono said that new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso had played a major role in his decision to sign with the Spanish club.

Mastantuono is set to arrive at the Bernabeu in August after Madrid triggered his buyout clause of 63 million euros (around 72 million US dollars).

The 17-year-old revealed that a phone call with Alonso, who replaced Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid's manager last month, had immediately convinced him it was the right move.
