Franco Mastantuono, a highly-touted signing for Real Madrid, was convinced to join after an inspiring conversation with coach Xabi Alonso. Currently with River Plate in the Club World Cup, Mastantuono has made history as the club's youngest scorer and debutant for the Argentina national team. Real Madrid secured his signing from under Paris Saint-Germain's nose, highlighting their interest over the past two years. Alonso has praised Mastantuono's maturity and potential, emphasizing how the young player will be an important addition to the squad when he arrives in August.
"The way [Alonso] spoke to me was incredible. I'm grateful to him for it, for the way he was with me. Our talk influenced me a lot."
"For me, Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world, the team that's won the most [trophies] in Europe. Any player would want to play there."
