The Tukkers are keen to sign a striker this summer after selling http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956 to Borussia Monchengladbach earlier this month, and have earmarked the Nerazzurri hit-man as an ideal replacement for the Dutch international.
The 19-year-old striker, who started his professional career at De Kuip Stadion in the 2009/10 season, joined the Serie A powerhouse in the summer of 2011 after representing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam in 37 Eredivisie matches.
However, after sitting on the sidelines for much of the 2011/12 season, only making six league appearances while wearing Nerazzurri colours, Castaignos is looking for a move away from San Siro before the ongoing summer transfer
window slams shut.
Earlier reports suggested that the former Rotterdammers star expressed his desire to join the Enschede giants this summer, and the club chairman has confirmed that the youngster wants to ply his trade at De Grolsch Veste.
“Luc is a serious option for Twente. He wants to come to us and we want him to come to Enschede. But first, we'll have to contact http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 about this”, Munsterman was quoted as saying to Eredivisie live.
Reports confirm that West Ham United, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 have also come asking for Castaignos’ signature, but the young attacker himself wished to join the 2009/10 Eredivisie champions.
However, his agent has recently claimed that if the Eredivisie side failed to lure the striker to De Grolsch Veste, Sporting Lisbon will then be the favourites in landing his signature this summer.
Castaignos has an ongoing contract that keeps him at San Siro until the end of the 2014/15 season, but Inter will cash in on the 19-year-old if an offer in the region of seven million Euros comes in.
