Mastantuono, who turns 18 on August 14 and can then join Real Madrid, did not show up for practice and will also not participate in sessions with the rest of his teammates.
Currently, Franco Mastantuono is enjoying a few days of vacation and would only return to River Camp to say goodbye to the squad and the coaching staff. Once his rest is over, before traveling to Spain, he will train with a physical trainer.
In this way, River Plate will not have Mastantuono for the start of the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional League or for the match against Libertad de Paraguay for the first leg of the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores round of 16.

The exact date when Mastantuono will travel to the capital of Spain to join Real Madrid is still unknown, but at River they intend to take no risks with his transfer.

Arsenal star makes big decision ahead of potential summer exit
Arsenal are desperate for reinforcements in multiple positions, but the attack has been a particular area of focus for Mikel Arteta. The team has yet to land on a striker, with both Benjamin Šeško and Viktor Gyökeres heavily linked with the club. Advertisement Arsenal are also keen on signing a winger, and their main target is Rodrygo from Real Madrid. The club has also been linked to Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze. With multiple attackers reportedly on the way, Arsenal will need to boost their funds by selling some players. One player has made a big change that could see him exit the club. Which player could leave Arsenal this summer? Fabrizio Romano has reported that Leandro Trossard has changed agencies, which could point to a desire to move away from Arsenal. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp The Belgian winger has struggled to maintain consistency in the starting lineup after his £27m transfer from Brighton in 2023. Advertisement Trossard scored eight goals in the Premier League this season, but he's likely to want guaranteed playing time. The winger is in the last year of his contract with Arsenal, although there is an option to extend the contract for another year. Talks have reportedly stalled, which could also point to a surprise exit for the Belgian. Arsenal will need money to fund their big-money moves, and Saudi clubs have shown interest in Trossard before, with Fenerbahce also said to be interested. Trossard will be pushed down the pecking order even further if Arteta can secure his ideal attacking targets, which could help Trossard make a big decision about his future.

Euro 2024 winner Zubimendi had previously been a target for Liverpool and was also linked with Real Madrid. Advertisement "This is a huge moment in my career," he said. "It's the move I was looking for and one I wanted to make. As soon as you set foot here, you realise how big this club and this team are. "I set my sights on Arsenal because their style of play is a good fit for me. They have shown their potential recently and the best is yet to come." Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is confident Zubimendi will reinforce his midfield options after Thomas Partey's contract expired and Jorginho left the club. "Martin is a player who will bring a huge amount of quality and football intelligence to our team," he said. Advertisement "He will fit in really well and he has all the attributes to be a key player for us." Zubimendi made 236 appearances in all competitions for Sociedad after graduating from the club's academy and has played 19 times for Spain.

Zubimendi is Arsenal's second signing of the summer transfer window after goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga joined from Chelsea. The Gunners are also expected to complete the signing of Christian Norgaard from Brentford. jw/jc
