Ceccherini joins Castellón as new centre-back until 2027

CD Castellón have secured Federico Ceccherini to bolster their back line. As reported by Sport, the club has reached an agreement with the Italian defender for his move to the albinegro side, running until June 30, 2027.

Ceccherini arrives on a free transfer from US Cremonese. Born on May 11, 1992 in Livorno, he brings a wealth of Serie A experience, having played over 225 matches in Italy’s top flight.

A proven Italian track record

Ceccherini was developed through Livorno’s youth ranks and made his Serie A debut with the first team in 2013. He then went on to play for Crotone, Fiorentina and Hellas Verona, where he established himself as a key figure in central defence.

Heading into LaLiga 2

His next stop was US Cremonese, with whom he achieved promotion to Italy’s top tier.

With this signing, Castellón add experience to the heart of their defence for the 2026-27 Segunda season, aiming for more solidity and consistency. Next, the key point will be how Ceccherini fits into the team’s defensive setup from the start of the league.
