Total price of $70 million! Alonso personally called the 17-year-old player: Come to Real Madrid to play the Club World Cup

With less than a week left, the Club World Cup is about to begin. Real Madrid's recruitment work is still in progress. On June 9, Argentina's "Horse" revealed that Real Madrid coach Alonso personally called Mastantono, hoping that the 17-year-old boy would join Real Madrid quickly and play for Real Madrid's Club World Cup.

17-year-old Mastantono is a left-footed player, playing as a right winger and front midfielder. In the 2025 season, Mastantono made 19 appearances for River Plate, contributing 7 goals and 4 assists; in the World Cup qualifiers on June 6, Argentina defeated Chile 1-0 away, and Mastantono made his debut in Argentina.

Mastantono joins Real Madrid, there is no suspense. Previously, the authoritative transfer reporter Romano confirmed that Real Madrid won Mastantono for $51 million and signed a 6-year contract. The only suspense is whether Mastantono plays the Club World Cup for Real Madrid?

The Horn News revealed that Real Madrid is doing their best, hoping to win Mastantono before the Club World Cup. Pony is less than 18 years old and has dual Spanish and Italian nationalities, so he can make international transfers. Real Madrid did not hesitate about transfer fees: $51 million, which would be the most expensive transfer in Argentina's league history. Including taxes and fees, Real Madrid will have to pay a total of US$70 million!

Real Madrid coach Alonso personally called Mastantono: "I need you to join now." The Horn pointed out that Real Madrid clearly hopes Mastantono plays the Club World Cup, but He Piao is unwilling to let go, after all, He Piao also wants to play the Club World Cup. In May, River Plate provided Mastantono with a contract renewal. At the beginning, the team's maximum salary was held, and Pony refused to renew the contract - renewal means an increase in liquidated damages, which is not conducive to transfers.

"Horse Horn" said that Real Madrid's chief scout Carafate has come to Buenos Aires and personally persuaded the Pony to join Real Madrid in advance. Real Madrid doesn't want to delay for too long. Carafate has learned that Paris Saint-Germain's sports director Campos and coach Enrique have contacted the Pony. Mastantono's dream is to join Real Madrid and live in Spain, where many of his friends live.

This Tuesday, River Plate coach Galardo will announce the list of participating in the Club World Cup, but Galardo cannot confirm whether Mastantono will go with the team. There is not much time left for Real Madrid and Riverbed: FIFA's special transfer window for Club World Cup will be closed on June 10.
