Contents

Castellano began his footballing career with Atalanta, who he joined at the age of six, but never played for the club at senior level, instead making his professional debut while on loan at Pro Vercelli before signing for Ascoli in 2017.

Club career

Atalanta

Fabio Castellano is an academy graduate of Atalanta, having joined the club when he was just six years old. [1] In 2014, he was the subject of great media coverage after he rejected offers from Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter, and AC Milan in order to remain with Atalanta. [2]

Loan to Pro Vercelli

In July 2016, Serie B side Pro Vercelli confirmed the loan signing of Castellano. [3] He made his debut for the club on 22 October, coming on as an 80th minute substitute for Simone Emmanuello in a 3–0 loss to Hellas Verona. [4] In January 2017, reports circulated that Atalanta had reached an agreement with Juventus for the sale of Castellano, with the player to remain with Pro Vercelli for the remainder of the season. It was later revealed, however, that Atalanta and Juventus had failed to submit the requisite documents before the transfer market had closed. [5] His only other appearance, which also marked his first professional start, came on the final day of the season in a 2–1 defeat to Frosinone which saw Pro Vercelli end the campaign in 17th position, narrowly avoiding relegation. [6]

Ascoli

On 30 August 2017, Castellano signed for Serie B side Ascoli on a three-year contract. [7] [8] He made his debut for the club on 17 March 2018, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 win over Ternana. [9]
