The situation of Argentine Franco Mastantuno at Real Madrid has turned into a big question mark, as he has only participated for 8 minutes in the last four matches, marking a notable decline in his role with the team.

Mastantuno had gained clear confidence at the start of the season under former coach Xabi Alonso, as he was given significant playing time and contributed to providing rhythm and boldness in the attacking third. However, a groin muscle injury that the player suffered affected him.

Since his return, the Argentine star has not regained his usual place in the starting lineup, whether due to physical caution or strong competition in the forward line, which has kept him out of the main considerations in recent weeks.

It is noted that Real Madrid signed Mastantuno last summer from River Plate for 45 million euros, in a deal that reflected the extent of the bet on his talent as one of the most promising rising talents in Argentine football.
