Per River Notices, the Argentina Under-17 international caught the club’s attention this season.
He has been scouted heavily by several Premier League clubs, which could lead to a winter or summer move.
Chelsea appears determined to steal a march on their rivals to secure Mastantuono.
The attacker has looked at home in the River first team, despite it being his first top-flight campaign.
