World Sports: Mastantono s joining Real Madrid may affect the future of Rodrigo, Dias and Guerre

June 11, World Sports reported that 17-year-old Argentine midfielder Mastantono is about to join Real Madrid. The players and the White Army have reached a complete agreement, and only two clubs need to finalize the final details.

Although Mastantono's termination fee is 45 million euros, it is reported that Real Madrid will eventually pay 60 million euros to ensure that River Plate actually receives 45 million euros. Currently, Mastantono remains in the River Plate and will participate in the Club World Cup. It is expected that the transfer agreement will be officially announced after the game ends. However, the Argentine club hopes the star player will stay until January to participate in the Copa Libertadores. However, this proposal does not seem to be recognized by Real Madrid and Mastantono himself.

Xavi Alonso believes that Mastantono can almost become the absolute main force in the team's right midfield. Alonso is confident in the Argentine player, but signing Mastantono directly affects three players in Real Madrid's first team. The first to be affected is Rodrigo, whose starting position is already unstable, and with the arrival of Mastantono, the situation may be more complicated. Although the Brazilian said on social media that he was "happy", he might choose to leave Real Madrid if he finds he can't get enough playing time.

The same situation is Diaz, who was once a key substitute under Ancelotti, but now his role may become marginalized, which may also lead to his consideration of leaving the team. The third affected player is Guerre, one of Real Madrid's future players, the arrival of Mastantono may hinder Guerre's development plan. Alonso may consider changing Guerre's position so he can appear more in the midfield than in the wing. This is a new role challenge for the Turkish teenager who has attracted the interest of several clubs. While he has rejected all the possibility of leaving the team so far, his attitude may change if his playing time is significantly reduced.

Mastantono is an important investment for the club and Alonso. Now, Alonso needs to handle it ingeniously to avoid the departure of several players due to the arrival of new players.
