I want to thank my family and friends for always being there for me. Without you, this would not have been possible. I also thank all the people in Argentina, which is very special to me. I still have to continue learning, but these values come from my surroundings. I promise that I will dedicate my life to this shirt. This is a dream I have always had. I thank the people at the club for their trust. A fan of the team will play on the pitch. Thank you to everyone."

"Today is a special day. One of the greatest talents to emerge in world football in recent years arrives at our club. Dear Mastantuono, congratulations, because today your big dream comes true, and on top of that, it's your birthday. I want to specially mention River Plate - a club with a historical connection to Real Madrid. We feel admiration and pride. Today you join a prestigious list of Argentine footballers who have been at Real Madrid. From today you will wear the white jersey with the 15 European Cups.
