Samú Costa seals Al Nassr move in Saudi Arabia
The Portuguese midfielder leaves Mallorca for 22 million euros, the club's most expensive transfer ever.
Samú Costa is already in Lisbon to sign as a new Al Nassr player, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Portuguese midfielder from Real Mallorca will become an Al Nassr player in the coming hours, with the Saudi club conducting its preseason in the Portuguese capital.
The agreement between the clubs and player is "very advanced," as announced by Mallorca's business CEO Alfonso Díaz. On Tuesday, approval from the Saudi Pro League was still pending to make the transfer official.
The deal will close at 22 million euros, making Costa Mallorca's most expensive transfer ever, surpassing Kang-In Lee's move to PSG three summers ago. Mallorca will receive 18.2 million, while Almería gets the rest after retaining 20% of the sale profits.
Costa completes three excellent seasons in the red and black shirt before this switch to Saudi Arabia.
