With a header goal from a true striker just minutes after his entry into the field, last night Santiago Castro sent his Bologna to a Coppa Italia semi-final, 26 years after their last appearance. The Argentine forward was decisive in the narrow 0-1 victory over Atalanta in a hard-fought match.
Inter continues to watch the performances of Bologna’s strong center forward, enchanted by his skills. The Nerazzurri will lose both Arnautovic and Correa for free in the summer and will necessarily need to add at least one more attacker to the squad. The 2004-born player, as reported by Tuttosport, is the favorite on the list of candidates.
It is true that Inter will be bringing back two young players like Pio Esposito and Valentin Carboni, but both are expected to have another loan experience. The Italian striker will need to test himself for the first time in Serie A, whereas the Argentine will need to start running again after the severe cruciate ligament injury this season.
Therefore, all roads lead to Castro, who Inter see as the perfect heir to Lautaro. Although, as we have exclusively reported, Nikola Krstovic has also climbed up the ranks among the Nerazzurri executives recently.
