Samú Costa, a 25-year-old Portuguese midfielder, is very close to becoming a new player for Al-Nassr. Negotiations with Mallorca and the player's entourage have entered the final phase in this summer market, with a deal worth around 22 million euros, although some sources place the total package closer to 25 million euros depending on bonuses. 

The Portuguese international has approved the change of destination and, barring an unexpected turn of events, will continue his career in Saudi Arabia, where he would share the dressing room with his compatriots Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix, with whom he has already shared moments in the World Cup with Portugal. The agreement between the clubs is progressing towards the definitive exchange of documentation to close one of the most significant moves of the summer for the Balearic entity.

Samú Costa leaves a multimillion-dollar sale for Mallorca

Samú Costa's departure will provide a significant financial boost for Mallorca. The Vermillion club signed the midfielder in 2023 from Almería and is now on the brink of completing a transfer that could become its highest in history if all elements of the deal are met. 

Costa was one of the key players of the team during the last season. He played 36 games, scored 7 goals, and provided 2 assists in the previous season, attracting the interest of several European clubs before Al-Nassr took the lead in negotiations. 

The player also had an offer from RB Leipzig, managed by his former coach Martín Demichelis, but he ultimately chose the offer from Saudi Arabia, where the Saudi club sees him as the replacement for Marcelo Brozovic in the midfield. 

Almería will also benefit from the transfer to Saudi Arabia

The operation will not only impact Mallorca. When Almería sold Samú Costa three summers ago for 3 million euros, it retained a 20% profit share from any future sale. Thanks to that clause, the Andalusian club will earn around 4.4 million euros if the transfer is finalized within the expected figures. 

This percentage makes Almería one of the major indirect beneficiaries of the deal. The income is expected to arrive once the transfer of the Portuguese international to Saudi football is official.

The next step will be to settle the final contractual details between Al-Nassr and the player's entourage. If no hitches arise in the coming hours, Samú Costa will end his spell at Mallorca to embark on a new adventure in Saudi Arabia, while the Balearic club will hasten the search for a replacement to fill an important gap in the midfield.
