17-year-old Argentine Star joins Real Madrid at a sky-high price! The transfer fee of 45 million euros hits a record, and new Messi is about to come out

On June 5, the world football world was once again shocked by a heavy transfer news. According to multiple authoritative media, Argentina River Plate's 17-year-old talented striker Mastatuno will join Real Madrid for a sky-high transfer fee of 45 million euros. This deal not only set a new transfer record for South American U18 players, but also marks that Real Madrid once again defeated its old rival Paris Saint-Germain in the battle for the new generation of players.

This young player, known as the "New Messi", has handed in 19 games with the River Plate this season with outstanding data of 7 goals and 4 assists. What is even more remarkable is that in the latest roster of the Argentina national team, Mastatuno was drafted for the first time and will have the opportunity to train with seniors such as Messi, Lautaro, and Alvarez. The latest data from the German transfer market shows that his net worth has soared from 15 million euros to 30 million euros, an increase of up to 100%, becoming the highest-priced player in the domestic league in Argentina.

The transfer battle is full of twists and turns. According to people familiar with the matter, Paris Saint-Germain was already close to signing the talented boy and even agreed to let him stay in the riverbed until the end of the Club World Cup. However, Real Madrid's new coach Xavi Alonso's personal intervention changed the situation. It is reported that Alonso had in-depth exchanges with the players for several hours, elaborating on Real Madrid's training plan for him, and ultimately impressed the young player and his family.

"Mastatuno has all the qualities to become a world-class star," said a Real Madrid scout who did not want to be named. "His technical characteristics are reminiscent of Messi when he was young, but his physical fitness is better. We believe that under the training system of Real Madrid, he can grow into the world's top striker in the next 3-5 years. "

This deal has also triggered widespread discussion in the football community. €45 million is indeed a huge sum of money for a 17-year-old who has not yet proved himself in the European arena, but considering the premium trend of top young players in recent years and the huge potential Mastatuno has shown, many experts believe this may be a great investment.

"Look at the development trajectory of Vinicius and Rodrigo in Real Madrid," Martinez, a famous football commentator, analyzed, "Real Madrid has unique features in the training of young players in South America. If they can patiently train Mastatuno, the 45 million euros may seem cost-effective in the future. "

According to transfer expert Skira, Mastatuno will sign with Real Madrid until 2031. Although the specific joining time has not been finalized, considering the player's age and development needs, Real Madrid is likely to adopt the "rental first and then buy" model to allow him to continue to exercise in the riverbed for a period of time. The signing of

also marks the continued advancement of Real Madrid's youth strategy. After successfully introducing young talents such as Bellingham and Kamavenga, the Galaxy Battleship has turned its attention to younger potential stocks. Paris Saint-Germain, who missed its target, had to readjust the signing plan. It is reported that they have turned their attention to Brazilian star Esteban.

For Mastatuno himself, this transfer is both an opportunity and a challenge. In Argentina, he has been compared with Messi, but to truly reach the height of his predecessors, he still needs to prove himself in the European arena. As Messi gradually enters the end of his career, Argentine football urgently needs a new flag figure
