Real Madrid veteran Dani Carvajal has expressed high praise for teenage sensation Franco Mastantuono, suggesting the young Argentine midfielder will bring significant contributions to the squad.
Speaking ahead of Real Madrid’s La Liga clash with Villarreal on August 24, 2025, Carvajal highlighted Mastantuono’s potential following his recent move from River Plate. The 17-year-old, who joined for a reported €40 million, has already impressed in training under manager Xabi Alonso.
“He’s going to bring us a lot of things,” Carvajal said, emphasizing Mastantuono’s versatility and technical ability. The teenager, dubbed the “next big thing” from Argentina, made his debut in a pre-season friendly and is seen as a long-term investment for the club. With Real Madrid aiming to defend their Champions League title, Carvajal’s endorsement signals the team’s confidence in integrating youth into their star-studded lineup, which includes Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe.
Mastantuono’s arrival has sparked excitement among fans, with trending discussions on X reflecting optimism about his future impact.
However, his lack of senior experience means he’ll need time to adapt to the demands of European football. As Real Madrid prepare for a busy season, including the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, Carvajal’s support could pave the way for the youngster’s gradual integration into the first team.
