Leandro Castán da Silva (born 5 November 1986) is a Brazilian former international footballer who played as a centre-back.
Club career[edit]
Roma[edit]
In the 2012–13 season, he was signed by Roma for a transfer fee of €5.5 million from Corinthians. He earned a place in the starting XI thanks to a number of consecutive solid performances. He scored his first goal for Roma on 8 December 2012 in a 4–2 win over Fiorentina.
In the 2013–14 season, Castán broke into the Roma first team; he cited new manager Rudi Garcia for this.[1]
Torino (loan)[edit]
On 10 July 2016, it was announced that Castán would be loaned to Sampdoria for the 2016–17 season.[2] However, on 18 August, just two days prior to the start of the new season, Sampdoria confirmed that the loan had been terminated and that the player had joined Torino on loan instead.[3] Castán featured in three out of five of the blucerchiati's pre-season matches, including their 3–2 away defeat against FC Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
Cagliari (loan)[edit]
On 11 January 2018, Castán joined Cagliari on a six-month loan deal.[4]
Vasco da Gama[edit]
On 3 August 2018, the player signed for Vasco da Gama.
International career[edit]
Castán said he did not believe that he would be called up by Scolari to play at the 2014 FIFA World Cup because of Dante, also a left foot defender, already being on the list.[5]
