According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, the three clubs attempted to sign the 17-year-old Argentine prodigy, but they have missed out on him. Mastantuono is regarded as one of the finest young talents in South American football right now, and he should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants had a disappointing season by their standards, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They are looking to improve their squad during the summer transfer window.
The 17-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for them. He could develop into a key player for the club with the right guidance. Real Madrid could certainly use more creativity and technical ability in the final third, and the South American certainly fits the profile.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have been overly dependent on Martin Odegaard for creativity from the central areas. The 17-year-old could have been a quality alternative. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal decide to move on to other targets.
As for Liverpool, it is surprising that they tried to sign the 17-year-old. They are pushing hard to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The German international plays in a similar role, and Mastantuono would have struggled for regular game time at Liverpool.
As far as Manchester United are concerned, they need to improve their squad to do well like season. They are going through a period of rebuilding, and they will be looking to bounce back strongly.
It remains to be seen who they end up with. They are one of the biggest clubs in England, but they have not been at their best in recent seasons. They must sign quality players to get back to their best once again.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for the South African. He will look to establish himself as a key player for them in future.
