ESPN reported in early August that Real Madrid were preparing to send Franco Mastantuono to Fiorentina on loan. Its reported financial arrangements were expectations at that stage, rather than published contractual terms.
Real Madrid confirmed on 6 August that the clubs had agreed the loan until 30 June 2027. The official statement establishes the destination and end date. It does not disclose salary sharing or a purchase option, so those terms should not be presented as club-confirmed.
