Real Madrid announce signing of wonderkid Franco Mastantuono from River Plate
Real Madrid have announced the signing of 17-year-old Argentina prospect Franco Mastantuono in a deal worth around €45m. The attacking midfielder will join Los Blancos from Argentinian side River Plate on 14 August – when he turns 18 – after the two clubs agreed on a deal to let him play for River during the upcoming Club World Cup. Mastantuono agreed to a six-year deal at the Bernabeu, with Madrid staving off interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Chelsea to win the youngster's signature. River had aimed to keep him at the club until the end of 2025 – after the end of their domestic season – but have now reached an agreement with the European giants. Mastantuono has 10 goals and seven assists in all competitions with River Plate across 61 appearances, and made his Argentina debut in the 1-0 win over Chile on 6 June, becoming the youngest ever player to feature for the national side. A statement on the Real Madrid website said that Mastantuono 'will be a Real Madrid player for the next six seasons, from 14 August 2025 until 30 June 2031'. 'Mastantuono developed in River's youth academy between 2019 and 2024, and was a member of the first-team squad last season. In February 2024, he became the youngest ever goalscorer in River Plate history. 'At 17 years old, he is also the youngest ever player to play for the Argentina national team in an official match,' added the statement.

I've seen signs of how stressed Harry is recently – he's killed any chance of reconciliation with King, expert says
A ROYAL expert says Prince Harry seems "down and sad" having killed any change of mending bridges with his father. Last month, the royal launched into an astonishing rant on the BBC after losing his legal challenge to get back his tax-payer funded security. 6 6 The 40-year-old made a series of bombshell claims about the Royal Family - all the while insisting he wanted reconciliation. King Charles was said to be "frustrated and upset" by his son's tirade. Renowned royal photographer Arthur Edwards told the Royal Exclusive Show that Harry looked "so sad" in the interview. He told The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson that Harry "doesn't seem to be having a real role now" as Meghan delves into her various business ventures. He said: "And I keep thinking back to that video he made when he lost the court case. And he looked so sad in that, so really down and not upbeat like he was normally. "I feel somehow he's having probably second thoughts. All he wanted to do was reconcile with his father. "The thing is, if he'd only said sorry on that interview, 'sorry, Pop, you know, I do want to see you' - I think that might have had a different [effect]. "But in many ways, it was coming from his heart, I thought. His father is not well, he's concerned - it's his father." "I did feel that was a change in his attitude. I mean, I haven't seen anything in five years. and then suddenly he comes out with that. "I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad." The Sun's Royal Editor called Harry's interview "one of their biggest mistakes" and said "it came from a place of anger". Prince Harry's biggest bombshells: Prince Harry lost his publicly-funded security appeal in a humiliating blow today Harry claimed the King WON'T speak to him 'because of this security stuff' He said he 'can't see a world' where he would bring his wife and children to the UK Harry revealed he has 'forgiven' his family and was up for reconciliation - but claimed it was ALL down to Charles The royal described his court loss as a 'good old fashioned establishment stitch up' He also said he feels 'let down' by his country and reached out to the PM for help. Buckingham Palace breaks its silence with a scathing statement after the bombshell interview Prince Harry says he 'doesn't know how long King Charles has left' The Royal gave the extraordinary interview after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security. In a fresh scathing attack, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he's "uncovered his worst fears". The Duke of Sussex said he would "love reconciliation" with the royal family. This comes after years of feuding with the family, including his own brother Prince William. The feud between the Duke and his family started when he and Meghan Markle announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping down as 'senior' members of the Royal Family. A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to him. Harry said when making the emotional admission: "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff." Harry and William are also said to be barely on speaking terms. William was reportedly 'blindsided' by Harry's decision to ditch his duties to live in his Montecito mansion with Meghan and the pair have yet to make amends. Another blow to the Royal relationships struck when Harry released his memoir Spare in 2023. Harry didn't hold back in the controversial book which caused a deeper chasm between him and his brother. In the bombshell memoir, he detailed Megxit and how the Royal family brand Meghan "difficult" and "rude." He slammed Queen Camilla as a villain and was highly criticised for outing his family for cash. The Duke of Sussex chillingly suggested it would be the Firm's fault if anything happened to him or wife Meghan Markle. He said he misses the UK and it is "sad" that he won't be able to show his children his homeland. A Palace Spokesperson said at the time: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion." 6 6 6 Prince Harry is 'pointing finger' & 'wants to blame everybody else' in bombshell interview as he 'fumes over court loss' PRINCE Harry is pointing the finger in his bombshell interview after losing his battle for taxpayer-funded security, an expert slams. The Duke responded to losing his court fight over his security in the UK in a bombshell BBC interview - in which he blamed a number of people for not giving him what he believes is sufficient security. The Duke chillingly suggested it would be the Firm's fault if anything happened to him or wife Meghan Markle and that he feels unsafe to bring his children to the UK. Broadcaster and royal biographer Hugo Vickers, 72, said it's not unlike Harry to play the blame game and it's about time he takes some accountability. Vickers told The Sun: "I think he's pointing the finger pretty much at all of us really. "He's always angry and so he's sort of doing what he does so often you know which is to blame other people. "That is what they do the whole time. "They're always telling us what they think and what they feel and telling us that we're in the wrong and they're in the right. "He wants to attribute blame to everybody else - I mean he never seems to accept that he, himself, has done quite a few things which on the whole we don't really like." After losing the appeal over receiving security for himself and his family - after battling for three-and-a-half years - Prince Harry expressed he was immensely disappointed with the verdict.
