Santiago Castro, born on 18 September 2004 (age 22), is an Argentine striker now with Roma, where he wears the No 9 shirt. His market value is around £30m, according to Transfermarkt.
The serious body of his senior career was built at Bologna. Across three seasons there he made 79 league appearances and scored 16 league goals, with 2024-25 his most productive campaign: eight goals in 36 league matches. That spell is the one that gives the career its shape, rather than the usual collection of early footnotes.
Castro has since moved on to Roma, where the story is still at an early stage. In 2026-27 he has made four Serie A appearances. For now, his profile remains that of a developing Argentine centre-forward whose reputation was formed chiefly at Bologna.
