Arriyadiyah: Al Nassr Sign Portugal Midfielder Samú Costa from Mallorca
According to Arriyadiyah, Al Nassr have completed the signing of Portugal international Samú Costa from Spanish side RCD Mallorca.
The report states that the Riyadh club has finalized the deal for the 25-year-old midfielder, who is set to strengthen Al Nassr's squad ahead of the 2026–27 Roshn Saudi League season.
Costa arrives after establishing himself as one of Mallorca's key midfielders in La Liga, where he earned recognition for his defensive work rate, tactical intelligence and composure in possession. His consistent performances also led to appearances for the Portugal national team.
The signing represents another significant addition for Al Nassr as the club continues reinforcing its squad during the summer transfer window. Costa is expected to provide balance and stability in midfield while adding valuable European experience to the team.
Having developed through Portuguese football before moving to Spain, Costa has built a reputation as an energetic holding midfielder capable of breaking up opposition attacks and initiating build-up play from deep positions.
Neither Al Nassr nor RCD Mallorca had officially announced the transfer at the time of publication, with the report indicating that the deal has been completed pending the club's official unveiling.
If confirmed, Costa would become one of Al Nassr's most notable midfield signings of the summer as preparations continue for another campaign targeting domestic and continental success.
