Overview
- Real Madrid registered 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono with its Castilla reserve team as number 30 to keep its LaLiga first-team list at 25 spots.
- The Argentine midfielder has completed three training sessions under coach Xabi Alonso since his presentation at Valdebebas on August 14.
- Soccer administrator Miguel Galan has warned the registration tactic may breach RFEF Articles 125 and 250 and described it as a potential “fraud of law.”
- Diario AS reports Xabi Alonso is considering giving Mastantuono second-half minutes in Real Madrid’s season opener against Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu.
- Injuries to Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga have increased the likelihood of an early first-team appearance for Mastantuono.
