The capital club signed Santiago Castro from Bologna for a reported fee of 35 million euros ($40 million) on Thursday. It was a swap deal with Artem Dovbyk leaving Roma for Bologna. The 21-year-old Castro scored 22 goals in 105 games across all competitions in three seasons at Bologna. Roma finished third in Serie A last season — its first under Gian Piero Gasperini. Castro joins fellow Argentines Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule at Roma. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
