Paredes said of his Argentina teammate: “I liked him from every point of view. As a footballer you can see it straight away, but at 17 he already shows great maturity.
“He has incredible quality and a personality that really struck me."
Dybala also told ESPN: "To play like that at that age you have to be at a higher level than average."
Mastantuono will remain at River until August 14, his 18th birthday, before officially joining Real Madrid.
