Playing Style Analysis
Castro arrived in Serie A as a teenager and has quietly built a profile that rewards closer inspection than his modest surface numbers suggest. His 0.37 goals per 90 places him above average among Serie A forwards, and his shot volume backs that up — 2.49 attempts per 90 puts him in elite attacking territory. The counterintuitive read here is his pass accuracy: at 70.9%, it looks damning, but his passes-per-90 sits in the bottom 10% of the league, meaning he's not a distributor at all — he's a finisher operating in tight spaces where clean execution is harder.
