Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Castro.
Judged on this season alone, Castro graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Primera A, on 6 clean sheets and 2.078 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Castro, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 41st of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 29 Castro is in his prime years, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Internacional de Bogota finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.2, Castro carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 68, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Internacional de Bogota finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
