Castro-Montes leaves Union for FC Köln
The Cup, the Supercup, and the league title. In just two seasons at Union, Alessio Castro-Montes helped write one of the most memorable chapters in our club’s history. Now, he moves on to Bundesliga newcomers FC Köln for the very first international adventure of his career.
Alessio Castro-Montes arrived in the summer of 2023 from KAA Gent. He made his debut for Union in the home match against Antwerp on September 3. His first goal followed on October 8 in the away match against STVV. In his first season, Alessio eventually played 47 matches in our shirt, scored 4 goals, gave 3 assists, and won the Belgian Cup.
His second season began with winning the Supercup. Throughout the season he had to deal with several injuries. In the end he played 29 matches, scored 2 goals and gave 5 assists. During the play-offs Alessio scored a crucial goal in the title race against Club Brugge and, on the final matchday, after a strong performance as a substitute, helped the team to the league title.
Now Alessio and Union part ways, as he begins the first foreign adventure of his career. You deserve it, Alessio!
Thank you and best of luck!
