Roma signs Santiago Castro from Bologna ahead of Champions League campaign
ROME — Roma’s first Champions League campaign in eight seasons led the team to make a change at center forward.
The capital club signed Santiago Castro from Bologna for a reported fee of 35 million euros ($40 million) on Thursday.
It was a swap deal with Artem Dovbyk leaving Roma for Bologna.
The 21-year-old Castro scored 22 goals in 105 games across all competitions in three seasons at Bologna.
Roma finished third in Serie A last season — its first under Gian Piero Gasperini.
Castro joins fellow Argentines Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule at Roma.
