Called up by Roberto Martínez to represent Portugal in the ongoing World Cup, Samu Costa is reportedly set to leave Mallorca during the summer transfer window. This Wednesday, he's being linked with a potential move to Germany.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 25-year-old Portuguese midfielder is on the list of potential reinforcements that new RB Leipzig coach, Martín Demichelis, submitted to the club's board. Leipzig finished third in the Bundesliga last season.
Samu is considered a strong candidate to bolster the midfield of Die Roten Bullen, who will compete in the Champions League in 2026/27. If the move materializes, he would continue working with Demichelis, who unsuccessfully attempted to save Mallorca from relegation at the end of the past season.
It's worth noting that Leipzig also has Sergi Altimira, a target for Sporting, as an option for the midfield.
