Chelsea are interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Franco Mastantuono.
The talented young Argentine has struggled for regular opportunities at Real Madrid since his €45 million transfer. It appears Chelsea are willing to give him a chance, with a loan move on the horizon Transfers.
Real Madrid are not against a temporary move and believe a well-planned loan could accelerate the player’s development. Mastantuono is highly rated and has a bright future ahead of him. However, to continue his development, he needs to play regularly. Sitting on the bench at the Spanish club will not bring him anything.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can get the deal over the line. They need more creativity and dynamism in midfield, and the South American could be ideal. He has the technical attributes to thrive in Premier League football, and exposure to English football could help him grow.
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in Europe and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down. The player will be determined to secure more time, and this move would make a lot of sense for all parties. Chelsea can improve the squad in the second half of the season without a significant investment, and Real Madrid can ensure the player improves with more experience.
The 18-year-old is expected to develop into a future star, and Real Madrid must manage his development carefully. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming days.
Mastantuono has 683 minutes of first-team football under his belt so far for Real Madrid in La Liga, and he has one goal to his name. He can function as a central attacking midfielder as well as a right winger. He could be of great value to Chelsea in the second half of the season.
