How does the University of Chile have anything to do with Castellanos?
Diego Rivarola recommended Taty Castellanos in 2017, arriving at the University of Chile. The young talent played only 14 minutes in the Romántico Viajero, in the duel against Corinthians for the Copa Sudamericana.
Universidad de Chile made him debut professionally, at just 19 years old. But he quickly discarded it and Valentín Castellanos ended up having a prolific career in Europe.
Now, the FIFA solidarity mechanism for the training clause would give a significant amount to the U. Of the more than 35 million dollars that Lazio is estimated to receive for the player, around 1.3 are for the blue team.
