Al-Nassr has officially signed Portuguese midfielder Samu Costa, marking the club’s inaugural acquisition of the current summer transfer period. The 25-year-old joins the team led by Cristiano Ronaldo as they aim to defend their Saudi Pro League crown. Costa is slated to fill the void left by Marcelo Brozovic, who departed the squad earlier this season as a free agent.
Costa previously played for Almeria before transferring to Real Mallorca in 2023. His performance in the defensive midfield role drew attention, leading to a reported €9 million deal that began taking shape last July. Although Al-Nassr dealt with significant financial constraints that stalled their transfer activity, they have successfully navigated those hurdles to secure this signing. The club confirmed the arrival of the Portuguese player via their official X account, unveiling him in a knight-themed announcement.
