29-year-old Belgian international Timothy Castagne revealed he was close to a major transfer during the last window, confirming that Juventus was among the clubs that wanted to push for a deal. The Fulham defender explained that there was significant movement on Deadline Day, but the English club did not let him go. Castagne stated that it was too late for Fulham to find a replacement, which made a transfer difficult. He believes a departure would have been possible if an interested club had made an approach earlier and added that he was not frustrated by the outcome as it was out of his control. His contract with Fulham is set to expire on June 30, 2027, and his value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €13 million.
