• Despite reportedly reaching an agreement with Milan, Lloris chose Lyon instead, seven-time Ligue 1 champions.
• He explained his decision by pointing to Lyon’s European ambitions, more playing time at Lyon, and the fact that he wasn’t guaranteed a starting job in Milan.

• Lloris, Marseille and France’s number two goalkeeper Steve Mandanda each conceded five goals in a thrilling 5–5 draw between Lyon and Marseille, although the media and both managers attributed the goals conceded to slack defending displayed by both clubs.
• In the voting for France Football’s 2009 French Player of the Year, Lloris finished third behind Nicolas Anelka and Yoann Gourcuff on 20 December.
• Lyon won all four of their first four matches of the 2010 season despite Lloris conceding only two goals and keeping two clean sheets.

Life Journey

Timothy Castagne’s Biography includes information about his Childhood, Early Years, Parents, Family, Wife, and Sisters. The lifestyle, personal life, and net worth of a footballer are more important. In a nutshell, we present to you the Life History of a Belgian football superstar who has both natural talent and his father’s genes at his disposal.

Woodgram’s version of the Defender’s Story begins at the beginning of his career until Leicester and Belgium made him famous. You can view Timothy Castagne’s Boyhood to Success gallery here to whet your appetite for his biography. His Life Journey is clearly reflected in what we have here without a doubt.

Brendan Rodgers is Damn Good at many things. One of them is signing quality players, such as Timothy Castagne. From now Belgian has lived up to the hype surrounding his name out of nowhere. Although Timothy Castagne’s biography received many accolades, only a few of his fans took the time to read it. We decided to take the time to write it because of our love for soccer. And now without further ado, let us begin.

He is known by the nickname Tim in his biography. Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Castagne, from Arlon, a town in Belgium, gave birth to Timothy Castagne on the 5th day of December 1995.

He was the first child and only son in a family of three children – a boy and two girls). All of his children are the result of the union between his mother and father (Pierre).

As a child, Timothy Castagne enjoyed a blissful childhood spent with his best friend, who also happens to be his beloved sister, Noemie. Since the very beginning, Timothy has been a role model to Noemie. Timothy Castagne’s parents decided to have a second child after a decade and some years had passed.

Tim and Noemie made the decision when they were teenagers. I must say that having Emmi as a member of the family was an incredible experience for us all. From the Belgian perspective, the feeling of having Emmi in your life is a priceless treasure for every single member of the family. The beautiful Emmi still remains the bonafide baby of the house at the time of writing this biography.

The son of the former Luxembourg Golden Boot winner, Timothy is the subject of numerous sporting websites. The father of Nicolai happened to be a professional footballer who, not only once, but twice, was one of the top scorers in Luxembourg during the 90s. Unlike his other brother – Romelu Lukaku – Timothy Castagne didn’t grow up poor. Both Timothy Castagne and Romelu were once footballers. However, unlike Romelu, Timothy Castagne’s father wisely invested his money.

Pierre did more than just provide for his family. He became a role model to his children – especially Timothy. The footballer’s ancestry can be traced back to Arlon. It is the capital of Luxembourg, the southernmost Belgian province. Approximately 30,000 people live in Arlon, and it is the Belgian border with Luxembourg.

Timothy Castagne’s relatives speak Luxembourgish, a traditional West Germanic language. It is primarily spoken in Southern Belgium and Luxembourg. He combined academic learning with professional football training at an early age. From an early age, Tim displayed versatility and was very adept at juggling multiple priorities.

Growing up, the Belgian had one goal: to follow in his father’s footsteps. When Pierre Castagne retired from football, it was hard for him. Because of this, Timothy hoped to follow in his Dad’s footsteps as a football player. Castagne attended a boarding school in the Belgian city of Liege, according to research. A mighty club in Belgium, Standard Liege, allowed him to train with their youth teams.

Castagne joined SB Waltzing-Bonnert’s adolescent soccer team in 2004. A year later, the youngster started playing for the young Lorrain Arlon during weekends.

Timothy’s experience playing youth soccer at Lorrain Arlon earned him the right to attend a trial at a top academy, Virton. This young man passed their trials with flying colors. He rose to become Virton’s best player in his age grade.

His greatest dream was to become a member of the Premier League. In case you didn’t know, the 12-year-old was a big fan of Arsenal and Thierry Henry. During that time, Castagne wanted to play at Highbury Stadium. The largest dub in the province where Timothy Castagne’s fans live is Virtuton. Consequently, the Belgian community grew rapidly there.

He developed into a polyvalent at the club. Considering his speed – which he possesses in abundance – Tim could play any position well. Scouts were attracted by Genk’s rapid growth, development, and exploration. The Racing Club met with Timothy Castagne’s parents to discuss his transfer, which was approved.

For the young Belgian, things just kept getting better when he joined Genk. Timothy Castagne had no bounds of joy in 2013 when he got a national Belgian 018 call. At this time, our boy was trying to wrap up playing academy football.

Injury And Rise To Fame

Tim Castagne had a problematic and unfortunate start to his professional career. In mid-April 2015, he collided with a Waasland-Beveren player during a match in the Jupiler Pro League.

Timothy received a mild concussion after the collision, which he initially thought was nothing to worry about.
A few months later (around December 2015), the same injury returned to haunt him. An opponent fouled him during a match, which triggered an old injury.

In that match, Timothy was substituted at 37 minutes due to a serious injury – with Genk medics rushing to his aid. Sadly, Castagne was sidelined for more than a year by that injury.

Castagne continued to experience headaches and vision problems even after he recovered. Racing Genk’s medical staff decided at this point to take additional medical tests to determine the exact cause of the injury. The medics advised Timothy to rest more until these results are known. While the Belgian continues to train, he avoids making competitions and duels. These were the most challenging moments of his career.

Following a return from injury, the Belgian left a good impression with Genk’s first team. As the most versatile player in the Belgian Pro League, he attracted many top clubs around Europe. Timothy joined Serie A club Atalanta in July 2017 for €6 million. In his first season, the rising Belgian star excelled – even achieving significant improvements in his second.

In Castagne’s opinion, he was ready for a new challenge after spending three years with Atalanta. Pierre Castagne, like his father, sprang into action in an effort to get his son the best deal. Spurs were the favorite to sign the versatile Defender when Jose Mourinho took over. As we know him, the Portuguese devised all means to capture him. Mourinho even conducted a video conference with Timothy Castagne’s father, according to research.

During that conversation, Pierre Castagne observed that Tottenham Hotspurs could not afford to hire his son. At this point, Mourinho considered selling Aurier to meet up Timothy’s price.
