Everton Reportedly Prepare January Move for Bologna’s Santiago Castro

Under a deal to 2028 with an improved extension in discussion, Bologna are unlikely to sell in January.

Overview

  • Reports in England relayed by Football Italia and CaughtOffside say Everton are lining up a bid for the 21-year-old forward in the winter window.
  • TEAMtalk’s guidance places the asking price at around €35m or higher, with suggestions Bologna would only engage at a premium level.
  • Castro has four Serie A goals and one assist this season, strengthening his profile after joining from Vélez Sarsfield for €13.2m in January 2024.
  • Bologna hold contract leverage through 2028 and are negotiating a pay-rise extension, which local reporting frames as a deterrent to suitors.
  • Everton’s interest follows ongoing struggles in front of goal, with summer signing Thierno Barry yet to score and Beto underperforming.
