Yoro & Mastantuono?
Looks like hunting for young talent is back on the menu, boyz!! According to Jose Felix Diaz (via Marca), Real Madrid are interested in signing both Leny Yoro and Franco Mastantuono.
For those of you who’ve been living under a rock, Leny Yoro is much-sought-after young centre back, currently plying his trade in Lille. Meanwhile, Mastantuono is a highly-rated 16-yo attack-oriented midfielder currently playing for River Plate.
Well, This ain’t Good
On the flip side, MCI should also be missing important players post-international break.

Rüdiger: “With all due respect to all the other clubs I have played for, which were also big clubs, I think they cannot be compared to Real Madrid. They have won 14 Champions League. Here it’s always about winning the Champions League without having to say it.” pic.twitter.com/bHKNbbcKJm
