Real Madrid have signed Franco Mastantuono, the youngest player to ever feature in a competitive match<\/b> <\/b>for Argentina, from River Plate.<\/b><\/p>\n
River Plate will receive 45m euros (\u00a338.5m) after the 17-year-old’s release clause was triggered, which sets a new record for the Argentine club.<\/p>\n
The attacking midfielder has regularly played for River Plate’s first team over the past two seasons and is the youngest player to have scored in their derby with Boca Juniors.<\/p>\n
Last week, he became Argentina’s youngest debutant in a competitive fixture when he was brought on as a late substitute in a 1-0 World Cup qualifying win<\/a> against Chile.<\/p>\n His six-year deal begins on 14 August, the day he turns 18. <\/p>\n He is Real’s third signing of the summer, following the arrivals of defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool and Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
