Franco Mastantuono has rediscovered his best form in Serie A. The Argentine joined Real Madrid at the age of 19 in a transfer worth more than €60 million, but gradually lost his place and eventually faded from prominence during a difficult season for the club.
Following José Mourinho's arrival, a loan move was considered the best option to give the youngster regular playing time and continue his development in Europe. Fiorentina emerged as the preferred destination for all parties, and the decision has so far proved successful.
Mastantuono has made 11 starts in Serie A and scored four goals, establishing himself as a regular in Fiorentina's starting lineup. His performances have already prompted the Italian club to explore the possibility of keeping him for longer. According to La Repubblica, Fiorentina want to extend his loan for another season, although there is one important condition: the Tuscan side must be competing for a European qualification spot to improve its chances of convincing both Real Madrid and the player.
His form has also attracted attention from other Italian clubs. Several outlets in Italy report that Milan, Roma and Napoli have already contacted the Argentine's representatives to find out what it would take to bring him into their respective projects.
It remains to be seen where Mastantuono will play next season, but his loan spell in Italy is clearly having a positive impact on his development and confidence. Whether he will have a place in Real Madrid's future plans at just 20 years old is another question. For now, however, the club's strategy for its young Argentine talent appears to be working.
