Castro, derby italiano per l’estate: due big pronte a tutto (SerieANews.com)
Bologna has been churning out talent for several seasons now, and one of them is surely Santiago Castro. Already known to Velez, which sold him in January 2024 to the Rossoblu for just over 13 million euros, the Argentine took a few months to acclimatize to Italy. Behind Zirkzee last season, he learned some of Thiago Motta’s mechanisms and then became Vincenzo Italiano’s reference.
In 36 appearances, he has already scored 9 goals and 8 assists, inching closer to a double-double that is absolutely within reach with 11 games left to play. Bologna is in the midst of the European race, perhaps even for the Champions League should it achieve a feat in the league. It even has a chance to win an Italian Cup, crowning a golden season, not only of its own striker.
Castro incanta Inter e Juventus: asta per l’estate
The class of 2004 has already bewitched two top clubs such as Inter and Juventus. The Nerazzurri are looking for a more reliable alternative to Taremi, Arnautovic and Correa. The Argentine would be perfect to act as a deputy to Lautaro Martinez and Thuram, also having some features reminiscent of his compatriot. In the Bianconeri household, however, the talk would be different.
Vlahovic is set to leave and Kolo Muani will eventually have to be redeemed. Castro could even become the starter for the Juve of the future, which could still be entrusted to Thiago Motta, who already knows the player. Everything will depend on this final season. If the Bianconeri only hit the Champions goal, the coach may not stay on the bench.

In the event of failure to finish fourth, exoneration would be certain. But watch out for the resounding Scudetto variable, with first place only 6 points away. An incredible success would completely change history, allowing the former midfielder to remain the Juventus coach.
But how much does Bologna value Castro? According to initial rumors, his value is at least 30 million euros, but it is bound to rise. Getting rid of its center forward, among the team’s best scorers, is by no means simple. It was done for Zirkzee and in fact the club was able to get almost 43 million euros out of him.
Castro’s figure could also approach precisely this level of spending. The coming months will be decisive, with eyes open to the usual Premier League and that Arsenal that remains at the door with the intention of hurting.
