On Friday, Lazio announced the signing of Valentin ‘Taty’ Castellanos, an Argentine striker, from New York City FC, a team in Major League Soccer.
Lazio did not provide specific information, but according to Italian media reports, he signed a five-year contract with a transfer fee of approximately 15 million euros, with an additional five million euros in potential add-ons.
Castellanos played for Girona in the Spanish LaLiga on loan last season, scoring 14 goals in 37 games.
