Manchester United met with the agent of Argentine genius midfielder Franco Mastantuono. The young player of Riverbed will be able to transfer to Europe at the age of 18 in August. His representatives have been meeting with major clubs in Europe this month, including the Red Devils.
Mastantono may not leave Argentina in 2025, but many European clubs are looking to reach an agreement with him in advance. He is known as "Argentina's Phil Foden", and his style is quite similar to Manchester City's English winger. Manchester United have always wanted to get him, but faced huge competition.
"Open-Air Stand" transfer expert Graeme Bailey confirmed that Manchester United has long inspected Mastantono's performance and negotiated with his agent, and club technical director Jason Wilcox is the promoter of the deal.
In the Premier League, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham also negotiated with Mastantono's agent, and his liquidated damages were £41 million, which is the price limit for introducing him. Because of the high price, Inter Milan in Serie A has withdrawn. Vice Chairman of the Nerazzurri Club and Argentine legend Zanetti explained: "For Inter Milan, with his age, this price is too expensive."
Among the European giants competing for Mastantono, Real Madrid is considered a big hit. Not only does Mastantono himself like Real Madrid, but the current sports director Solari is also an Argentinian, who is close to the Riverbed.
According to Marca, Real Madrid held an online meeting with Mastantono's agent. Although no offer was made for him yet, rumored that his outstanding performance in River Plate has indeed attracted the attention of Real Madrid. Manchester United has been relying on young players recently. Insiders have high hopes for existing youth training young player JJ Gabriel and are optimistic that he will become the youngest debut player in the team's history next season. The England U15 national youth forward turned 15 on October 6, but has made his debut at Manchester United U18 and scored 3 goals. He is known as "Kid Messi". The club is seriously discussing how to deal with Gabriel's career and is really optimistic that he can break the record. Currently, the youngest debut player in Manchester United's history is goalkeeper David Gaskel, who made his debut at the age of 16 and 19 days in 1956. As long as Gabriel plays for Manchester United's first team next season, a new record can be set.
If Gabriel can play in the Premier League next season, he may also break the record of the youngest player in the league. The record currently belongs to Arsenal's Ethan Nvanelli, who was only 15 years old and 181 days when he played in Brentford in September 2022.
Ruben Amorin is willing to give Manchester United a youth training rookie opportunity, and this season he used 17-year-old Chido Obi, 18-year-old Eden Haven and Harry Amas. Therefore, it is not ruled out that Amorin will enable Gabriel next season.
Of course, the latter also needs to first establish himself in the youth team under the age of 18, then enter the reserve team, participate in first-team training, and gradually strive for a breakthrough in his career, just like his idol, Barcelona's Spanish winger Yamal.
Not only Manchester United is optimistic about Gabriel, but Nike also has high hopes for him and has signed a personal sponsorship agreement with him early! But ironically, Gabriel was discovered by Manchester United scout Dave Harrison, who had just been laid off by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
