Juventus is also interested in Santiago Castro, who has become a prominent forward in Serie A. The club is monitoring his performance and may pursue a transfer in the upcoming window. Bologna is open to selling him for a price between 25 and 30 million euros.

Santiago Castro, an Argentine forward born in 2004, has begun to display his skills following his initial six-month adaptation period in Bologna under Thiago Motta from January to June 2024. In the ongoing season, he has scored 5 goals and provided 5 assists in 19 appearances. Castro's technical abilities are widely admired; however, Bologna presents a challenging market for Juventus. This is evident from the unsuccessful attempt to sign Calafiori, which was thwarted by Arsenal's financial offer, as well as the reaction that followed Motta's transition from Bologna to Juventus.
