According to insider information from Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, Real Madrid felt it crucial to communicate directly with Güler, assuaging any concerns about his playing time with the arrival of another high-profile attacking midfielder.
Güler, who is expected to transition into a more central midfield role this season, was reportedly informed that Mastantuono’s acquisition, primarily as a right-winger, would not jeopardize his opportunities on the pitch.
Mastantuono, a 17-year-old Argentine international, is one of several significant signings for Real Madrid this summer.
Following an impressive season with River Plate, the young talent was secured in a substantial transfer, with expectations for him to feature prominently in Xabi Alonso’s squad for the upcoming 2024/25 campaign, despite his tender age.
The proactive approach by Real Madrid underscores the club’s commitment to nurturing its young stars while simultaneously integrating new talent.
It appears the club is keen to maintain a positive environment and ensure that players like Güler, who are seen as integral to the club’s future, remain confident in their roles despite increased competition.
