Madrid, Spain – E be like say Real Madrid don brush up their interest for Franco Mastantuono, the young Argentine midfielder wey dem dey eye since last summer. Initially, e look like the deal go scatter when di player agents renew contract for River Plate, but na so life be, wey player want chop more money, wetin dem go do na to use Real Madrid name to shine.
Now, as opportunity don open, Mastantuono don clear say e wan hammer this opportunity. Reports show say im dey prioritize Madrid over any other club (see e life wey money get, no be small). Juni Calafat, the big man from Madrid, don waka go Buenos Aires just to seal di deal. Na serious matter o!
Wetin happen be say, journalist Eduardo Inda don talk say Real Madrid emissaries dey for Buenos Aires to finalize the transaction dis week, and everybody dey expect say na real banga dis time. If everything work well, Mastantuono fit don join di squad before di World Cup take start – and who no like to show face for World Cup?
Make we no forget say dis paddy get double nationality, both Argentinian and Italian, so no wahala for him registration like wetin happen with Endrick wey dem suppose wait make e grow before dey fit sign am. But with Mastantuono, na just enter and display!
However, no be only Real Madrid dey chase am. PSG and Manchester City dey also eye am like potential target. No be small rivalry, but Madrid sabi wetin dem dey do, and dem no wan lag behind. With 50 million euros for di proposed deal, dem fit still try negotiate down due to di player’s strong desire to join dem.
As di transfer market dey hot, make we switch small to di next wahala. Viktor Gyökeres, di Swedish striker from Sporting CP don become di main focus for Atlético de Madrid latest, and e look like dem go try sign am this summer. Reports don show say as many people don de talk say his price don reduce from 100 million euros to 65-70 million euros. Na good news for Atlético, no be so?
Gyökeres don score 39 goals for 33 matches for di Portuguese league, e no fit help but draw attention from big clubs across Europe. E be like say small small, him fit finally land for Metropolitano, especially as di club dey plan to clear some players like Julián Álvarez, Sørloth, and Correa – e be like dem don fix di strategy already.
On top Rüdiger matter, Xabi Alonso don make am clear say di German defender no go anywhere o! Dem go still maintain am for di squad even if e don pass di 30 years mark. E get contract until 2026, and dem also dey plan to sign another central defender wey go fill im shoe when time come. But fear no dey for di club as dem dey look into players like Konaté and Saliba once dem contract finish.
As di summer dey approach, no be only talk we go dey hear, make we just dey chill as di big names go dey enter and exit like dem dey play musical chairs. No matter wetin happen, e go make sense to see wetin go happen as all dis clubs dey scatter ground to build di team wey go lead dem for next season!
