Argentine forward Thiago Castro is currently dealing with persistent foot pain but is determined to play through it and make a significant impact for his team.
While he may continue to be utilized as a substitute, potentially rotating with teammate Thijs Dallinga, especially in upcoming fixtures like the one against Juventus, Castro is focused on improving his physical condition and confidence. His aim is to be in better shape for the league match against Milan from May 9th onwards. His ultimate goal is to be fully fit and ready to give his absolute best performance in the Coppa Italia final.
The promising young attacker, who was signed by Bologna for 12 million euros in January 2024, has quickly increased his market value, which is now estimated to be around 30 million euros.
Facing Juventus holds a particular significance for Castro. His very first goal in Serie A was scored against the Turin giants in a memorable 3-3 draw earlier this season, a match where Bologna initially established a strong 3-0 lead before Juventus managed to equalize. This personal history provides extra motivation for Castro whenever he faces the Bianconeri.
