The Argentine had also been approached by Inter over the summer, but the asking price of €40-50m put them off.

Castro only turned 21 in September and was instrumental last season in helping Bologna to win the Coppa Italia trophy.

So far this term, he has scored five goals and one assist in 16 games between Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Europa League.
