June 9th, Riverbed Club Chairman Jorge Brito was interviewed by Cenital, and he talked about the possibility of Mastantono's transfer to Real Madrid.

Brito said: "Mastantono is undoubtedly one of the most important new stars in Argentina football in the past 20 to 30 years, and I don't know if this is his luck. At present, the world's top clubs want to sign him. We must respect our existing contracts and do our best to protect the interests of the club and keep the player as long as possible."

In the interview, Brito also mentioned the impact of the divorce clause on the deal: "If the player decides to leave, Then the club that signed him will pay the termination fee, which is an immediate fee, and we can't do anything about it."

"Many times people will ask why we don't increase the termination fee, not that I didn't expect it, it was part of the negotiations, and the player's agents usually ask the termination fee not to be too high."

17-year-old Mastantono is currently training with the Argentina national team, and Paris Saint-Germain's growing interest in him has prompted Real Madrid to speed up the pace of action. Real Madrid has been following the midfielder for two years, and the player himself is eager to wear white robe.

According to COPE last week, Real Madrid is optimistic about the matter, believing that the two sides will reach an agreement in the next few days. However, it should be noted that River Plate still hopes to continue to have this star player and allow him to participate in the upcoming Club World Cup.
