What happened. Roma are reportedly in advanced negotiations with Bologna for striker Santiago Castro, with a €35m deal including bonuses and a future sale percentage. Artem Dovbyk is expected to go to Bologna on loan separately.

• Personal terms are not expected to be an issue for the Argentina international.
• Castro joined Bologna from Velez Sarsfield for €13.2m in January 2024.
• Marcus Rashford was proposed to Roma but his Manchester United wages make it impossible.

If completed, Castro would bolster Roma's attack after missing other targets like Greenwood and Summerville.
