After being on the brink of joining Napoli, Franco Mastantuono will remain at Real Madrid - at least for now. Talks over a potential transfer have reportedly collapsed, with negotiations hitting a wall late in the process. The midfielder had been seen as a priority signing for the interested team but it looks like they will have to look elsewhere or return with an improved offer. The deal has fallen through, and while Napoli are moving on, clubs such as Leverkusen remain in the frame. Napoli look balanced this season - 1.5 goals scored and 0.81 goals conceded per game. Franco Mastantuono would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Alongside this, Real Madrid are said to be exploring Marcos Senesi, Bruno Fernandes and Nicholas Williams with Napoli likewise connected to Kobbie Mainoo.
