According to the Daily Sports Daily, Real Madrid new player Mastantono once rejected the famous agent Jorge Mendes.

The story of Mastantono and Real Madrid began on June 8, 2023. Real Madrid director Sorari, who played 101 times for Riverbed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, met with two close friends, one of whom was then Riverbed coach Demi Kelis, and the other was Riverbed Legend and current club sports director Enzo Franciscoli. During this meeting, they talked for the first time about the riverbed star Mastantono, who was only 15 years old at the time.

Mastantono made his debut for River Plate's first team at the age of 16. At that time, many teams were interested in him, and Real Madrid was the first club to take action. Those who witnessed the growth of the players said that Mastantono not only had excellent left-foot skills, but also impressive was his mature mindset, with local football commentary saying "he reminds people of Redondo" and qualified to inherit the No. 10 jerseys of Maradona and Messi.

Mastantono comes from a hardworking middle-class family. His mother, Sophia, is a bachelor of sociology, works at the National Institute of Agricultural Technology, and his father, Christie, educates children to maintain a humble attitude. The players also have siblings Lucia and Valentino. All this shows that Mastantono is a young man with firm values.

Mastantono's agents are Federico Vitale and Walter Tamer, and their relationship with the players is almost like family members, always thinking about his undecidedness rather than just pursuing financial interests. After learning that Real Madrid and Paris were interested in Mastantono, super agent Mendes also took the initiative to contact the player and proposed to be Mastantono's agent, but the players clearly rejected him.

The famous Argentine reporter Veronica Brunatti told Western media EL PERIÓDICO: "Mastantono is by no means a 'hot mind'. He has a very clear mind, strong learning ability, and can accept all guidance. Although he is only 17 years old, he is very professional and most importantly, he is full of love for the riverbed."

So much so that when Real Madrid scout Carafate started discussing the Mastantono matter, the player expressed his hope to stay in the riverbed until December to help the team. In addition, Mastantono also made it clear that when he finished his adventure in Europe, he would return to the Monument Stadium to continue playing for the riverbed, and he was eager to wear the riverbed jersey again. Argentina coach Scaloni also praised Mastantono.
