River Plate President denies allegations of negotiations with Real Madrid for a 17-year-old talent.

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. However, there have been no discussions between the two teams about him.

According to sources in the Spanish city, the 17-year-old has reached an agreement with Real Madrid and has decided to move to the Santiago Bernabeu. 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.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...

🏅Mateta shines as France defeats Egypt, securing a gold medal clash with Spain.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time. After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass. Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot. After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for ...
