Endrick’s loan to OL is a success in the eyes of Real Madrid and the two clubs now have a good relationship. Lyon decided to take advantage of this. The Rhône club has formally approached the Merengues with a request to bring 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono to the banks of the Rhône next season.
Journalist Hector Andreu confirms the discussions: Olympique Lyonnais has shown great interest in Franco Mastantuono. The French club has already established contact with Real Madrid. The relationship between the two organizations is positive. Previous deals have contributed to mutual understanding in these types of negotiations. » The Argentine, signed from River Plate for 45 million euros, has only nine starts in La Liga this season. He even agreed to a move to PSG before changing his mind under pressure from Xabi Alonso.
Salary, which remains an obstacle
Mastantuono earns 7 million euros per year, which in his current financial situation is more in line with PSG than OL.
