AS Roma is about to take over Santiago Castro from Bologna. According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, talks are in the final stages and the deal could be completed within hours. The 2004-born Argentine striker has already given the green light for the move, while Roma and Bologna are working on the final details of an agreement.
The outlines of the transfer are already in place: a basic amount of approximately €30 million, supplemented with a maximum of €5 million in bonuses. Agreement also seems to have been reached on the personal conditions: Castro would earn around €2 million per season in Rome. Both clubs are currently fine-tuning the structure of payments and bonus clauses to finalize the agreement.
The fact that Roma is now moving on from Castro is related to the difficult search for an alternative. According to the same source, the club experienced problems in attracting Nicolò Tresoldi, for whom Club Brugge is asking a very high price. As a result, the focus is definitely on Castro and Roma wants to speed up to have the striker join the selection as quickly as possible, which will soon travel to Wales.
A few scenarios are still being considered in the background. Reports surrounding the file indicate that other names may also be involved. That is what Dovbyk is called, although his possible deal could also be separate from Castro's transfer. In addition, the name Robinio Vaz is associated with a (temporary) construction. How and whether these options exactly fit into the final agreement is still being discussed; the core remains that Roma wants to bring Castro to the capital as quickly as possible.
For Roma, the arrival of Castro would mean additional depth and competition up front, with the club capitalizing on the dynamics of the current Italian transfer market. Bologna now appears prepared to sell at the stated conditions, provided all details are worked out satisfactorily. As usual, after agreements in principle, the medical examination and paperwork follow before the switch can be officially confirmed.
With thenegotiations in the decisive phase and the will of all parties to act quickly, a conclusion seems close. To be continued in Rome, where they hope to welcome the Argentinian striker in the short term.
What's happening now
If the deal with Bologna is completed, Santiago Castro can quickly join the Roma squad, who will soon leave for Wales for a training camp. This gives him the opportunity to adapt to the club's playing style and explore his role in the team. In addition, both clubs may continue to consider other options, such as involving Dovbyk or Robinio Vaz, which could further influence the dynamics of the transfer market.
