Real Madrid Teen Mastantuono on Edge as Argentina Finalise World Cup Squad

Real Madrid attacking prospect Franco Mastantuono remains in Argentina’s provisional group as coach Lionel Scaloni prepares to announce his 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup. The 18-year-old joined the national setup after a challenging debut season at the Santiago Bernabéu. Scaloni’s final decision will depend on form, fitness and how he balances experience with emerging talent. Insiders say any omission would be purely footballing. Meanwhile, talks of a loan move away from Real Madrid are reportedly underway to boost Mastantuono’s playing time before the tournament.
