In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (51.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.6 goal contributions per 90 (0.45 goals, 0.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Castillo.

Goals / app

3 goals in 13 appearances (0.23 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.6 goal contributions per 90 (0.45 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.7, Castillo carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 32 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.6 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.
