Fiorentina considers loan for Real Madrid's Franco Mastantuono

Fiorentina sporting director Fabio Paratici has shown interest in acquiring Franco Mastantuono on loan from Real Madrid. The Spanish club is open to a temporary deal without a buy option, looking to provide the young player with essential game time after a challenging season where he managed three goals and an assist across 35 appearances. With new manager José Mourinho at the helm, competition for minutes may further limit opportunities for emerging talent at Real Madrid. Other clubs, including AC Milan, are also reportedly monitoring the situation. A loan to Fiorentina could offer Mastantuono a chance to establish himself in Serie A during a season when the club aims for improved performance and potential European qualification.
