River Plateite President Jorge Brito commented on the transfer of 17-year-old midfielder Franco Mastustiono to Real Madrid, confirming that the transfer fee will be €45 million and that the payment is expected to be made in three installments. We always believed that Franco Mastustiono intended to stay at the club until the end of the year. That’s the intention we all had. Until Friday, we stated that Real Madrid. Furthermore, the date we always set was June of next year. We thought December could be an interim point. Unfortunately, this is the most important deal in the history of the Argentine. But I have to say “unfortunately” because we couldn’t achieve the goal of completing it before the end of the year. Regarding Real Madrid’s statement, “Either way or whatever,” the player expressed his desire. In fact, this was implemented through the compensation clause, signed by the player in agreement with the club, and thus the payment plan came into being. We also understood the player’s intentions and those of the club, and for him, it seemed risky to stay until December. The player had one year left on his contract in December, but we still found his willingness to cooperate with the club. We must be grateful for giving us Franco. Sometimes you put yourself in someone else’s shoes. We tried to negotiate with Real Madrid as hard as possible. They understood that the time was right. Source link
