Mastantuono picks Italy to get minutes
Fiorentina have pulled off a tidy piece of late-window business. The Tuscan club confirmed the season-long loan of Franco Mastantuono, with no option to buy attached. The Argentine playmaker leaves Real Madrid for now, a place where minutes had grown scarce behind a crowded attacking cast.
He was not short of suitors. Something like a dozen offers reached his camp. He picked the Viola, and a project built to hand him the game time he has been chasing.

The reasoning is plain. At his age, a full season on the pitch beats an expensive seat on the bench. A River Plate graduate, Mastantuono arrived in Madrid with a future first-team badge already stitched on. A stacked squad had other plans, at least for the next twelve months.
He becomes the second Madrid player to land in Florence this summer, following Victor Valdepenas. A pipeline is quietly forming between the two clubs. Fiorentina finished 15th in Serie A last spring, so a South American talent arriving on a free loan, ready to lift a side trying to climb, reads like shrewd work.
A spell under the microscope
The loan keeps every door open. Real still hold the cards on his future. Now Mastantuono has to make his Italian months count, with the Bernabeu watching every touch.
