Fiorentina's sporting director, Fabio Paratici, has enquired about Real Madrid's teenage sensation, Franco Mastantuono. Real Madrid is open to loaning Mastantuono this summer, but strictly without an option to buy for any club. The Argentine midfielder made 35 appearances last season, scoring three goals and providing an assist.

With José Mourinho now managing Real Madrid, opportunities for up-and-coming players like Mastantuono may be limited as the club targets silverware. Fiorentina sees this as a golden opportunity to secure a promising talent for a season, aiming to improve their performance and push for a European spot in Serie A. Milan also reportedly holds an interest. Real Madrid frequently loans out young players, a strategy proven successful with talents such as Endrick and Nico Paz.
