The transfer saga surrounding Franco Mastantuono continues, with Real Madrid reportedly ready to give the green light to his exit on loan this summer.
The talented 18-year-old Argentine has struggled to settle at the Bernabeu, and a temporary spell away in order to gain experience may be just what he needs. According to reports, several clubs in Spain and abroad are eyeing up the young player, with a long list of suitors vying for his signature.
While Tottenham have been linked with Mastantuono in the past, it remains to be seen if they are still in the mix for his signature. The north Londoners may not favour a loan deal, and it seems that's all that's on offer from Madrid right now.
Even if Mastantuono looks like a player with a bright future, a loan deal for one season may not be the best option for Tottenham. As a teenage talent in need of playing time to gain experience, he would be better suited to a long-term contract rather than a temporary deal.
For Spurs, a ready-made player who can make an impact right away is more what's needed to avoid another relegation battle. While investing in young talents for the future is a good idea, a loan deal for Mastantuono may not be the best priority for the club right now.
