Fluminense eyeing move for Lanús striker Rodrigo Castillo | OneFootball

Fluminense remains active in the market in search of a new number 9 for the remainder of the season. According to journalist Victor Lessa, the tricolor is pursuing the signing of Rodrigo Castillo from Lanús. The board had already made inquiries with the Argentinians about the striker, but they were met with a demand of 10 million dollars, which caused the tricolor to pull back from the negotiation. After this inquiry, Fluminense began pursuing a deal for Gabriel Ávalos from Independiente, but that deal has not yet been finalized.

However, after the striker played a decisive role in the Recopa final, scoring goals in both matches, the tricolor is now looking for a way to make the deal with Lanús feasible. The Argentine club does not oppose a transfer, as long as it is for fair values. The team's own coach, Mauricio Pellegrino, said it will be very difficult to keep him in the country.

In the current season, Rodrigo Castillo has played in seven matches, scored four goals, and provided three assists.
