Real Madrid have reportedly pulled out of the race for River Plate midfielder Franco Mastantuono.
Spanish outlet Marca reports that the Spanish giants have ended their interest in the 17-year-old, who is being followed by top clubs throughout Europe.
River Plate has set a steep €45m release clause for the young playmaker, who has already made a name for himself in River’s first team.
The earliest possible arrival in Europe for Mastantuono would be in August 2025, when the promising talent turns 18.
