Samu Costa Set to Depart Mallorca After Relegation

Samu Costa is on the market, and his departure from Mallorca is a foregone conclusion, A BOLA has learned. The club's relegation to the Spanish second division triggered a process that was already anticipated: the Portuguese midfielder is in demand in the top flight and across various European leagues, and he has no plans to compete in the second tier next season.

The timing of this news couldn't be more significant for the player. Samu Costa is among the select 27 players called up by Roberto Martínez to represent Portugal in the 2026 World Cup. With the biggest international competition on the horizon, the 25-year-old midfielder becomes one of Mallorca's most attractive assets. The club will view his sale as a crucial way to balance their books after the revenue loss caused by relegation.

The player's increased value under Martínez, who has relied on his physical prowess and balancing ability in midfield, places Samu Costa on the radar of clubs with European aspirations. As he prepares to join the national team camp, the midfielder's club future is being decided behind the scenes, with the certainty that his time in the Balearic Islands has ended in the worst sporting fashion, but at the peak of his individual valuation.
