Lazio, the Serie A silver medalist last season, has been making a lot of moves recently. Not only did they sell the team's core player Milian Govic Savage to Saudi Hilal for 42 million euros (about HK$370 million), but they also splashed out a lot of money to bring in strong reinforcements. Recently, they successfully signed Argentinean shot-stopper Castellanos for a transfer fee of 15 million euros (HK$132 million). It is worth mentioning that the scorer had an eye-catching performance in last season's La Liga match against Real Madrid with four solo goals.
The departure of Milan Govic Savage has brought Russell a generous transfer income to supplement the team's strength. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Russell has reached an agreement with New York City to bring in Castellanos for a transfer fee of 15 million euros, and both sides have negotiated personal terms. Next week, Castellanos will undergo a physical test to officially complete the deal to join Russell.
