Real Madrid loanee Franco Mastantuono has gone viral following a dismal performance in Fiorentina's Serie A opener against Torino. The 19-year-old Argentine, who was expected to provide a fresh start after a difficult Real Madrid debut, has struggled to adapt to Italian football. In the match, Mastantuono failed to capitalize on a prime chance in front of goal, ultimately leading to his early withdrawal by coach Fabio Grosso.
Fiorentina's results have mirrored Mastantuono's own, with the team losing their opening three games and currently sitting at the bottom of the table with zero points. The Argentine's performances have been a cause for concern for both the player and the club, as he has yet to register a goal or assist despite starting every match.
Real Madrid, who are covering part of Mastantuono's salary during his loan, remain hopeful that this rough patch will prove temporary as the season progresses.
