Leandro Castán da Silva (born 5 November 1986) is a Brazilian former international footballer who played as a centre-back.

He earned a place in the starting XI thanks to a number of consecutive solid performances.

In the 2013–14 season, Castán broke into the Roma first team; he cited new manager Rudi Garcia for this.

[3] Castán featured in three out of five of the blucerchiati's pre-season matches, including their 3–2 away defeat against FC Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy.

Castán said he did not believe that he would be called up by Scolari to play at the 2014 FIFA World Cup because of Dante, also a left foot defender, already being on the list.
