Tottenham will have to fork out€70 million to sign Real Madrid attacking sensationFranco Mastantuono this summer.
The Argentine international had an impressive start to life at Real Madrid, but wasn’t able to maintain the desired levels and eventually ended up going down the pecking order. The Spanish giants are now ready to negotiate his departure amidst interest from Tottenham, but want to maintain significant control over his future.
Tottenham want to sign Franco Mastantuono
According to reports from Spain, the North London club are interested in acquiringFranco Mastantuono’s services. They have already tabled an offer of €45 million, which the Spanish giants turned down without much deliberation.
With the 18-year-old racking up just over 1,300 minutes of first-team action in his debut campaign, Real Madrid are ready to sanction his departure. But they prefer a formula that gives them enough control over his future.

Real Madrid want€70 million forMastantuono
Los Blancos would be open to a loan move with a €70 million buy option, which will be triggered if they qualify for Europe next season. It will help the Spanish club protect their investment in the youngster.
If Spurs fail to secure European football, Mastantuono will return to Madrid with valuable Premier League experience. The North London club do seek more quality in the final third, and the Argentine international could prove to be a very valuable addition to their squad.
His pace, ability to take on defenders, and clinical finishing could prove invaluable. While the €70 million fee represents a significant financial risk, it also comes with immense potential.
