The 18-year-old has joined Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee.
“Playing for Real Madrid is a dream. I never imagined that my dream of playing for the best club in the world would come true. I can’t ask for more,” Franco told Marca.
“I’m living on a cloud right now. So many great things have happened this season. I never thought I would be able to score 26 goals in one season. I owe this all to Diocesano, who gave me confidence again.”
Diocesano had also been linked with the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United before joining Real.
