Inter Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all among the clubs chasing River Plate teenager Franco Mastantuono.

This according to Argentine outlet Ole, via FCInter1908. They report that there are seventeen clubs in total who are keen, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

Teenage attacking midfielder Franco Mastantuono has really been catching the eye with his performances for River Plate.

A product of the River academy, there is a sense that it is only a matter of time before the 17-year-old leaves for Europe.

And there is now a sense that that move will come this summer.

However, what is not clear is where Mastantuono’s eventual next destination will be.

According to Ole, there is a huge queue of clubs aiming to sign the young Argentine.

They name Real Madrid, Barcellona, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, PSG, Marseille, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Argentine outlet report that Marseille have already tested the waters. To little avail, however.

According to Ole, it is likely that only the biggest of those clubs could afford Franco Mastantuono.

The 17-year-old has a release clause of €45 million.

And while it could be possible to negotiate a deal for that, it wouldn’t be for much less. River would want a fee of at least €40 million plus add-ons.
