In every title race, statistics and tactics often dominate the conversation. Analysts debate formations, injuries, squad depth, and goal difference. Yet one intangible factor repeatedly shapes championships across Europe and beyond: home advantage. For Fenerbahçe S.K., a club steeped in history and expectation, the significance of home advantage is magnified tenfold as the season edges toward its decisive stretch. In a tightly contested title race, where margins are thin and nerves are frayed, the atmosphere of Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium may prove as influential as any tactical blueprint. Home advantage is not merely about familiarity with pitch dimensions or avoiding travel fatigue. It is psychological territory. It is rhythm, routine, and resonance between players and supporters.

Real Madrid's transfer strategy has revolved around discovering and signing the greatest adolescents in the world, particularly from Latin America, and it looks that 17-year-old Argentine phenom Franco Mastantuono is the latest to be targeted.

Further sources suggested that Los Blancos had also made a €25 million approach for Mastantuono, but River Plate President Jorge Brito has dismissed that notion."I can promise you that there were no negotiations with Real Madrid for Franco Mastantuono. Neither with Florentino Perez, nor with anyone. It was a meeting for different reasons. "The player is very calm and happy at River," Brito told ESPN, as reported by Diario AS.
"We believe there is no reason to expedite this process. At 17 years old, he is fully developed. Neither the player nor we have no issue with him departing. I believe we must value him and recognize that we have a great treasure who will undoubtedly kill it when the time comes to depart. It's time for him to think about River."
Mastantuono's contract runs until the end of 2026, with a €45 million release clause that escalates to €50 million in the final 10 days of the transfer window. Real Madrid would have no reason to pursue him at this time. If Real Madrid does decide to engage with River, it appears unlikely that they will wait too long, as El Millionario will not want their youngster to enter the final year of his contract and risk a lower fee.
