Real Madrid can breathe easy. After weeks of speculation about Franco Mastantuono's registration, the club has received the green light from FIFA. The verdict is clear: everything is in order and there is no problem at all.
The club thoroughly documented itself, consulted with legal bodies and with FIFA itself. Even with people very close to Infantino, who are recognized for their legal and administrative prestige. Everyone agreed: Mastantuono's registration is completely correct.
The club trusts that this chapter is now closed. Despite some attempts to stir up controversy, the reality is that there are no legal reasons for concern.
The situation of other teams
It is relevant to mention that no other Spanish team has filed a complaint. Neither Osasuna, nor Oviedo, nor Mallorca have reported anything. This shows that the controversy has no real basis.
Meanwhile, some anti-Madridist sectors have tried to fuel the controversy. At Real Madrid, they consider these campaigns useless. The club's management has been clear and professional.
Franco Mastantuono, the new gem
Franco Mastantuono is one of the greatest prospects in world soccer. His arrival at Real Madrid has caused great excitement both inside and outside the club. He has already made his debut, with two matches played and one as a starter.
The optimism is evident. Both fans and executives believe that Mastantuono can be one of the most important footballers this season. Xabi Alonso fully trusts his ability; for the Spanish coach, the young player is ready to take on a significant role from the start.
The competition in attack
However, nothing will be easy for Mastantuono; the competition is strong. Rodrygo Goes and Brahim Díaz are also fighting for a spot in the starting eleven. Xabi Alonso makes it clear that no one has a guaranteed place.
This was seen in the last match with Vinícius Júnior starting on the bench. The message is clear: the coach bets on meritocracy. Whoever performs at the desired level will play; whoever doesn't will give up their place to another.
That's why Brahim Díaz is left out; it's not a personal matter, but one of performance and technical choice. Mastantuono is preferred and has convinced the coaching staff from day one.
Expectations for the season
Now the pressure falls on Franco; his performances will define his role in the team. Xabi Alonso expects the young player to respond with consistency and quality. Every training session and every match count.
The fans, meanwhile, are expectant. The promise of a talented footballer, together with Xabi's philosophy of meritocracy, means the season begins with excitement.
The coach's message is clear: talent, discipline, and performance. Only in this way can minutes be earned at Real Madrid.
