Argentine media outlet TyC Sports has revealed that Premier League rivals Liverpool are eyeing River Plate's 17-year-old star Mastantono for a transfer fee of up to £40 million.
Liverpool are reportedly exploring the possibility of paying that £40 million release clause in Mastantono's contract in a bid to bring in the midfield talent with unlimited potential. This season, Mastantono played 38 games for River Plate, making 11 starts, scoring 2 goals and assisting 3 times, revealing his talent and potential.
It is worth mentioning that apart from Liverpool, La Liga giants Real Madrid have also shown keen interest in Mastantono. But unlike the Reds, Real Madrid preferred to let Mastantono hone his skills in La Liga before making plans.
Mastantono's contract with River Plate expires at the end of 2026, and his future is in the spotlight. Being favored by Liverpool and Real Madrid is undoubtedly a great recognition of his footballing talent. Which team he will eventually choose will undoubtedly be a hot topic of discussion among soccer fans.
