Franco Mastantuono set for loan move from Real Madrid after friendly omission

Summary

Franco Mastantuono is approaching a loan exit from Real Madrid after not being included in the squad for a pre-season friendly against Fiorentina. This decision follows a lack of consistent playing time since arriving from River Plate, where he initially featured regularly but struggled as competition increased. Real Madrid's summer signings, Bernardo Silva, have compounded Mastantuono's difficulties in earning minutes. Italian clubs, including Fiorentina, AS Roma, and AC Milan, are reportedly interested in acquiring the Argentine midfielder on loan, though Fulham in England is also an option.
