Final-third output. 0.64 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.11 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 52.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.5, Castillo carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 42 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.64 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.

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 27, Castillo sits on 30.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Castillo's projected Rating — 57.5 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.
