Italian club Napoli is preparing to enter negotiations to sign Real Madrid's young Argentine midfielder Franco Mastantuono during the upcoming January winter transfer window.

According to journalist Akram Connor, Napoli plans to submit a loan offer that includes a purchase option, with a total value potentially reaching around 50 million euros. However, expectations indicate that Real Madrid's management will reject the offer.

At the same time, Mastantono is being followed by several clubs in the English Premier League, although no club has made an official offer yet.

The reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano had earlier denied reports suggesting that the Argentine player might leave Real Madrid during the upcoming winter transfer window, confirming that a departure in January is currently not being considered.
