4 goals in 14 appearances (0.29 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

Final-third output. 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 54.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.2, Castillo carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 38 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.65 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~32), then tapers with age. At 27, Castillo sits on 32.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Castillo's projected Rating — 59.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
