As: Riverbed hopes Mastantono stays until January next year, players think Real Madrid s opinions are the most important
According to the Ass, Real Madrid's signing of Mastantono is a foregone conclusion, but there is still some uncertainty in the time of players joining. River Plate hopes to keep Mastantono until January next year.
Real Madrid's signing of Mastantono has been finalized, but the club has not officially announced it yet. After winning the competition with Paris Saint-Germain and finalizing the transfer agreement, Real Madrid still has some problems to solve when introducing players. Although this will not affect the transfer, there will be some uncertainty, that is, the time when Mastantono joins.
Mastantono will not participate in the Club World Cup with Real Madrid like Wyson and Arnold, but will play for River Plate. Participating in the Club World Cup is the player's own wish, and Real Madrid has no objection to this. Under the agreement, Real Madrid will pay a $45 million (about 40 million euros) termination fee and hope that Mastantono will join in August, after the Club World Cup and the holidays.
However, River Plate has a different view, and they are putting pressure on players and Real Madrid to stay in the team until January next year in order to participate in the second half of 2025 and complete the journey of the Liberators Copa del Residents, because River Plate has hope of winning the championship. That's the wish of Riverbed President Jorge Brito, who has conveyed that to the players' entourage and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid has a very harmonious relationship with River Plate. Real Madrid will bear the taxes and fees for the signing of the contract to express their sincere gratitude to River Plate. In fact, Brito has also visited the Bernabeu Stadium this season. But even so, Riverbed made it clear that they were going to stick to this option, even though they knew it would be very difficult and nearly impossible to achieve.
Brito is very clear that once the termination clause is implemented, that is, Real Madrid pays $45 million, the players can leave freely. So Mastantono has the right to decide whether to extend the contract life to January next year, which is not a problem for him, and the riverbed's battle for the cup of liberation may attract him.
"But at the same time, Mastantono is also keen to become a new player in Real Madrid. He realizes the great efforts Real Madrid has put in to introduce a young player, so he believes that the opinions of Real Madrid executives should occupy the most important position. Currently, Real Madrid executives hope that players will join in August. But River Plate is working hard to keep Mastantono on the team for a longer time."
