Campobasso FC announced tonight the permanent transfer of midfielder Antonio Gala to CD Castellón. The Italian club confirmed on its website that the player is leaving the entity to join the Spanish side, although Castellón has not yet communicated the signing—a departure from the usual practice where both clubs coordinate the announcement timing.
The operation had been anticipated by several journalists specializing in the Italian market. Campobasso has not disclosed the financial details of the agreement, though reports in Italy indicate that the Molise-based club will secure a significant capital gain. In its statement, the club emphasized that the transfer recognizes Gala's growth over the past season and the club's work in enhancing the value of its squad.
"Campobasso FC announces the definitive transfer of midfielder Antonio Gala to CD Castellón, a club that plays in the Spanish Second Division, one of the most prestigious and ambitious in Iberian football," the entity stated.
One of the Revelations of Serie C
Antonio Gala was one of Campobasso's most outstanding players during the previous campaign. The Italian midfielder, born in 2004, played 40 matches and scored seven goals, becoming a key figure for a team that finished fourth in its group and competed in the promotion playoffs. His performances attracted interest from several European clubs, including:
- Portugal: Torreense, Casa Pia
- Netherlands: Go Ahead Eagles, Telstar
- Switzerland: St. Gallen
Campobasso also highlighted the player's attitude and performance during his time at the club.
"Antonio has earned the affection of the fans, his teammates, and everyone who is part of the club thanks to his technique, his personality, and his decisive contribution during the last season," the statement added.
The Italian club closed its farewell with a message of gratitude: "We are proud to have accompanied you on this path of growth and we wish you much success, both personally and professionally."
Trained at Milan
Gala was developed in the youth system of AC Milan, with whom he played in the UEFA Youth League. He later moved through Foggia before joining Campobasso, where he established himself as a midfielder with attacking ability and goal-scoring capacity. Pending the official announcement from CD Castellón, Campobasso's statement confirms that Antonio Gala will continue his career with the albinegro team.
