The Catalan club Espanyol has targeted Gaetano Castrovilli, a 29-year-old Italian midfielder born in 1997, to add to its squad. Negotiations are underway, and Espanyol is assessing the possibility of the player joining La Liga. The Spanish club is seeking to add a player with quality and experience who is capable of raising the technical level of its midfield. Castrovilli is seeking to find consistency after his best years at Fiorentina and recently concluded his time at Cesena. That spell at Cesena followed a return to Bari that was affected by on-field struggles and external controversies. These controversies included threats his wife received on social media, which prompted the former Fiorentina player to seek a move. For Castrovilli, this potential transfer would be his first professional experience abroad and an opportunity for his career in a league described as competitive and technical. The midfielder has 4 caps for Italy and has a current market value of €500k, according to Transfermarkt.
