Mastantuono is a player who is called the "second Messi". Since his days as a member of the River Plate Youth Team, he has been noted for his outstanding skills. He made his first-team debut in the River Plate team in January last year when he was 16, and showed his outstanding skills by breaking the youngest scoring record for the Argentine national team. It had no choice but to attract the attention of European big clubs.
Rumors of Mastantuono's transfer began to be raised in earnest last summer. In addition to Real Madrid, a number of clubs, including FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, courted him. Until most recently, Real Madrid and PSG have been mentioned as the leading teams to catch Mastantuono. Real Madrid eventually won the recruitment match. Real Madrid announced its joining of Mastantuono on its website.

Messi opened history by making his first-team debut at the age of 17 in 2004 when he was a member of Barcelona's youth team. Since then, he has become the world's best player as everyone knows, establishing himself as a legend of Argentine soccer after Diego Maradona. Mastantuono, who has gained professional experience in his own league, is also expected to stand out in Spain like Messi, and there are concerns that it will be difficult to easily overcome the wall of his first overseas expansion. It is expected that the world's soccer community will pay attention to his performance in the future.
