Fluminense continues to monitor the market in search of reinforcements for the attack and has a new name on its radar: Rodrigo Castillo, from Lanús.
The scorer of the winning goal against Flamengo in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana semifinal, the 26-year-old forward was closely observed by a Fluminense representative at the La Fortaleza stadium. The information was reported by journalist Stefania Casero from ESPN Argentina.
Asked about the presence of a Fluminense scout, the player said he was unaware, but acknowledged that performances in big matches increase visibility.
— Honestly, I didn't know. These games, the whole continent is watching, including people from abroad, so you end up being in everyone's sights and, when you do well, options start to appear — he said in an interview with the F12 program on ESPN Argentina.
Despite this, the forward emphasized that he is focused on Lanús, but admitted that a transfer could happen.
— I am happy here. I know the club needs to sell, the president said so, and if something comes up, we will talk or not. I am calm and happy here and, above all, focused on the return leg, because we want to be champions — he added.
In addition to Fluminense, Eintracht Frankfurt also inquired about the forward's situation during the last European transfer window. However, the German club only showed interest in a loan, while Lanús made it clear that they are only willing to negotiate the player in a permanent deal.
The presence of a Fluminense scout reinforces the club's movement in the market in search of a striker, the board's priority in this window.
