AS Roma have reached an agreement to sign Santiago Castro as their new striker, Softfootball understands.
The Serie A club have finalised a deal worth €35 million, with an agreement now in place between all parties.
Castro is scheduled to undergo his medical in the coming days before completing the formalities and officially becoming a Roma player.
The Argentine forward arrives as a major attacking reinforcement as Roma continue strengthening their squad ahead of the new season.
The transfer follows another positive development for the club, with Super Falcons defender Shukurat Oladipo recently signing a new long-term contract that will keep her at AS Roma until 2029.
Oladipo played a pivotal role in Roma’s outstanding campaign last season, helping the club secure a historic league double and cementing her status as one of the team’s key performers.
Roma’s latest business reflects the club’s ambition to build on last season’s success by securing both emerging attacking talent and the long-term future of key players.
