In a decision that has sparked plenty of discussion among fans and pundits, Franco Mastantuono will not feature for Argentina in the U20 World Cup. Instead, the young prodigy will remain with Real Madrid, prioritizing his growth and integration with the Spanish giants. 🙅♂️❌
This move underscores Real Madrid’s commitment to developing Mastantuono into one of their future stars. At just 16 years old, the midfielder has already caught the attention of football enthusiasts worldwide, and Los Blancos are keen to keep him close to the squad.
For Argentina, his absence will be a significant blow. The U20 World Cup has always been a showcase for rising talents, and Mastantuono’s creativity and vision in midfield would have been a huge asset. Still, his long-term career trajectory appears to be taking precedence over international youth competition.
