Real Madrid’s young Argentine talent, Franco Mastantuono, has shared his thoughts on adapting to life at the Santiago Bernabéu, admitting that while the process is ongoing, he feels he has much more to contribute to the Spanish giants.
Speaking in an interview highlighted by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 16-year-old midfielder said: “I am adapting, I’ve more to give to Real Madrid.” Mastantuono, who joined Los Blancos amid high expectations, is considered one of Argentina’s brightest prospects and is already showing glimpses of his potential in training and early appearances.
The teenager also expressed his admiration for teammate Jude Bellingham, who has been a standout figure since his move from Borussia Dortmund in 2023. “Jude Bellingham caught my attention the most. He has a presence and a level of authority I’ve never seen before,” Mastantuono admitted.
Bellingham has quickly established himself as a leader in Madrid’s midfield despite his young age, combining technical brilliance with an authoritative presence that continues to inspire teammates and fans alike. For Mastantuono, training alongside such a figure offers valuable learning opportunities as he looks to develop his game at the highest level.
