Real Madrid open to loaning out teenage prodigy but past failures cause concern

Franco Mastantuono’s future remains a grey area as the summer transfer window approaches, primarily because Real Madrid are stuck in two minds about his next step.

After arriving in June, the player started off strong under Xabi Alonso and made a strong case to be a regular starter in attack.

A bout of pubalgia and a managerial change, however, changed everything for the player and his season took a turn for the worse. As of today, he has just played over 1200 minutes for the team with four goal contributions to his name.

Open to loan exit

As relayed by AS in a recent report, Real Madrid see the need for Mastantuono to have regular minutes next season but concurrently understands that there is no place for him in the team’s plans for next season.

The team retain complete faith in the player and do not wish to let go of him just a year after bringing him on as a top talent. The idea of a loan, thus, is being considered.

Real Madrid trust the idea of loaning out players as it has yielded good results in the past. Brahim Diaz, for one, is an example, as he spent time away on loan at AC Milan before returning and establishing himself in the team.
