Torino to buy Castan

By Football Italia staff

Torino intend to exercise their option to buy defender Leandro Castan from Roma in January.

The Brazilian missed most of the past two seasons with the Giallorossi due to a brain injury and the associated recovery, but has found a return to form with Torino.

Castan has played eight games in Serie A under Sinisa Mihajlovic this season, during which time the team have conceded just nine goals.

In the four games played without the centre-back, the Granata have let in seven goals, proving his worth to the side.

According to Tuttosport, the Turin-based club will pay €4.5m for the former Corinthians player, offering a contract until 2020.
