Real Madrid have secured the signing of 17-year-old Franco Mastantuono from River Plate in a deal worth €63.2 million, marking the most expensive transfer in Argentine football history.

The attacking midfielder, who became River Plate's youngest-ever goal scorer and the youngest player to feature in an official match for Argentina, will join the Spanish giants on August 14, his 18th birthday.

Mastantuono's exceptional vision and technical skills have drawn comparisons to former Real Madrid stars, and he is expected to be a significant addition to the squad.
