It sure pays to be part of the City Football Group family.
New York City FC tapped into the motherland’s vast resources once again by strengthening their midfield — an area head coach Domenec Torrent wanted to address this transfer window — by acquiring 19-year-old attacking midfielder Valentin Castellanos on loan from Club Atletico Torque, a CFG team, for the remainder of 2018, the club announced Friday.
Castellanos joins NYCFC just days after the team acquired former Girona captain midfielder Eloi Amagat on a free-agent contract. Like Amagat, Castellanos has a team option for 2019.
