AS Roma has an interest in signing the 18-year-old Argentine winger Franco Mastantuono on a simple loan that does not include a purchase option. It is reported that the possibility of a deal depends on the departure of Soulé.
Mastantuono, who plays for Real Madrid, is seeking a temporary one-year move to get more playing time and assist his development. This decision was made following a meeting with José Mourinho. Mastantuono has four caps for Argentina and joined Real Madrid from River Plate in August 2025 for a fee that was reported to be €45 million. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €45.00m. Other Italian clubs, including Fiorentina and Milan, have also shown interest in a loan for the player. A final decision regarding his destination is anticipated by the end of this week.
