Inter Milan is exploring new options for its attacking lineup as the club prepares for potential changes ahead of the next season. With Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic both set to leave by June 30, 2025, the management is keen on refreshing the squad. One name that has emerged as a top target is Santiago Castro, the promising striker currently making waves at Bologna.
Calciomercato report that Piero Ausilio, Inter’s sporting director, has reportedly identified Castro as a key target, viewing him as the ideal successor to Lautaro Martinez. The young Argentine forward, born in 2004, has been a standout performer for Bologna this season and has established himself as a vital part of the team’s offensive strategy. His contract with Bologna runs until June 2028, indicating that he is a significant asset for the club.
Castro’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed. He has been instrumental in Bologna’s attack, contributing to ten goals so far this season. His ability to dominate as a central striker has solidified his position as the team’s primary offensive weapon.
The comparisons between Castro and Martinez are becoming increasingly frequent. In an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport, Castro expressed admiration for his compatriot, stating, “I watch him a lot. I think about playing like him; he is a fantastic player and the captain of one of the biggest teams in the world.” He also highlighted his desire to learn from top players in Serie A, mentioning his conversations with other strikers to refine his game.
