Santiago Castro has signed a contract extension with Bologna until June 2030, cementing his role in the squad. Punters may back Bologna for improved attacking returns and consider markets such as “Castro to score” or “Castro to register a shot on target” in upcoming Serie A and Coppa Italia fixtures, given his current form and growing influence.
Bologna Secure Santiago Castro with Long-Term Contract
Bologna have confirmed that 21-year-old forward Santiago Castro has extended his contract with the club through June 30, 2030. The move signals the Rossoblu’s intent to keep hold of a rapidly improving attacker who has become a key figure this season.
Performance This Season
Castro has produced eight goals in all competitions so far, showcasing consistent progress and an eye for goal. His pace and directness have made him a regular threat in Bologna’s attacking play, with his goal return drawing increasing attention across Europe.
Standout Coppa Italia Showing
The striker opened the scoring in Bologna’s Coppa Italia quarter-final clash with Lazio, underlining his ability to perform on big occasions. His performance in that tie highlighted his movement and finishing, leaving opponents mindful of his threat.
Transfer Interest and Sporting Value
Castro has been linked with a number of clubs abroad and domestically, with reports suggesting interest from English Premier League sides as well as top Italian teams. Bologna regard him as a valuable asset — both as a core member of the squad and as a potential future transfer earner should they decide to sell.
Betting Implications
From a betting perspective, Castro’s extension reduces immediate uncertainty about his availability and increases the likelihood he will feature regularly.
Punters might consider backing Bologna in markets tied to goals scored or attacking output, and specific player bets such as “Castro to score” or “Castro to have a shot on target” look worth monitoring while his form continues.
