Chelsea, Man United Scouts to Watch Bologna’s Santiago Castro at Villa Park Tonight

Reports value the 21-year-old at about £60m following an 11-goal, four-assist season.

Overview

Both clubs plan in-person checks on the forward during Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Aston Villa, according to Il Resto del Carlino reports carried by multiple outlets.
Santiago Castro has 11 goals and four assists in 44 appearances this season for Bologna, and he is a 21-year-old Argentina Under-20 international.
Football Transfers has suggested a potential fee near £60 million, though no official bids or club confirmations have been reported.
Chelsea are evaluating striker options to add attacking depth ahead of the summer window, while Manchester United are also monitoring Castro as they assess forward targets, per the reports.
Bologna have sold promising players for the right price in recent windows, including Riccardo Calafiori, Joshua Zirkzee and Dan Ndoye, which frames expectations for any summer talks.
