Newly-Promoted Como Secure Loan Deal for Inter Milan Young Defender Jean Castegnaro

Newly-promoted Como, the Italian Serie A side, have successfully secured a loan deal for Jean Castegnaro, the talented young defender from Inter Milan‘s Under-19 squad. The 18-year-old rising star, who has honed his skills within the Inter youth ranks, is poised to make his mark in senior football next season.

Castegnaro, under the guidance of former Inter, Roma, and Ajax midfielder Christian Chivu, showcased his potential last season playing for Inter’s Primavera team. The young defender has attracted attention from various clubs in Serie A and Serie B, with clubs like Benevento and Cremonese also vying for his services.

Despite interest from top-flight clubs like Benevento and Cremonese, Como has emerged as the frontrunner in securing Castegnaro’s loan for the upcoming season. Como, fresh off their promotion to Serie A, are actively looking to bolster their squad with a mix of experienced players like Raphael Varane alongside promising young talents.

Reports suggest that Como is close to finalizing a deal to bring in Raphael Varane, the 31-year-old French international, on a free transfer. This move highlights Como’s ambition to compete in Serie A while maintaining a balance between seasoned professionals and emerging talents like Castegnaro.

Castegnaro, who boasts dual citizenship from DR Congo and Italy, represents a blend of diverse backgrounds in the footballing world. His imminent loan spell at Como presents an exciting opportunity for the young defender to test his skills at the top tier of Italian football and contribute to Como’s quest for survival in their first season back in Serie A.
