Tottenham Hotspur could sign Real Madrid teenager but there's a catch: report
"Franco Mastantuono is a capable player for his age, but this season has not been what he might have hoped. The attacking midfielder has understandably struggled for minutes across a frontline that boasts Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, and Brahim Diaz."
"Instead, a move to the Premier League might open the door to regular top-flight football, and Spurs are keeping tabs on the situation, according to CaughtOffside. James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, and Dejan Kulusevski all suffered long-term injuries this season, while Richarlison, Mathys Tel, and Randal Kolo Muani have huffed and puffed all season long."
"Mastantuono would bring technical prowess and unpredictability to a turgid front line in North London, but also a grounded determination at odds with his bleached-blond buzzcut hairstyle. Brighton and Chelsea are reportedly sniffing around too, but many clubs will be unwilling to part with such a huge fee for a relatively unproven prospect."
Tottenham are scouting Franco Mastantuono, an 18-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder at Real Madrid, for a potential 50 million pound summer transfer. Despite Spurs' current struggles near the Premier League's relegation zone, the club continues planning for future reinforcements. Mastantuono has limited playing time at Madrid due to competition from elite attackers including Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. A Premier League move could provide him regular top-flight opportunities. Tottenham's attacking options have been severely hampered by injuries to James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, and Dejan Kulusevski, while other forwards have underperformed. Brighton and Chelsea also monitor Mastantuono's situation. However, clubs hesitate investing 50 million in an unproven prospect, and Tottenham's potential relegation could complicate any transfer negotiations.
