Santiago Castro publicized by the local press

bologna newspaper Il Resto del Carlino There is a report which praises the little striker. They describe him as a talent ‘ready for the biggest stages’, noting how he produces his best performances in European competitions.

Therefore the match against Aston Villa will be very important for him. Even in the first phase, many clubs kept a close eye on the 21-year-old player.

Manchester United and Chelsea scouts will do the same on Thursday. It is unclear whether they saw him in the first leg, but it is a sign that the chances of Santiago Castro ending up in England are increasing.

Or at least that’s what Il Resto is trying to say.

They also clarify that Castro has recently signed a new deal. If clubs come calling in the summer, it is likely to increase Bologna’s asking price.

Our opinion: Bologna would love sale to England

The Rossoblu have an excellent track record of selling their best players to English clubs.

The exits of Riccardo Calafiori, Joshua Zirkzee and Dan Ndoye saw them receive more than €100m. This makes it clear why they would love to sell Santiago Castro to Manchester United or Chelsea.

Furthermore, adding those two clubs to the field would help Bologna raise their price tag. In the past, West Ham and Nottingham Forest have also been mentioned.

Since Bologna will play in England, there would be no better opportunity to promote their player in the best possible way.
