Brighton officially announced the signing of Costinha from Olympiakos on Monday. The 26-year-old right-back has signed a contract valid for five seasons. However, the completion of the deal is dependent on the issuance of the international clearance and the usual regulatory approvals. Welcome to the Albion, Costinha. 🇵🇹 Although the transfer fee has not been disclosed, the deal is expected to be around 13 million euros. Two years ago, Costinha brought in 2.5 million euros to the coffers of Rio Ave, and the Vila do Conde club is now rubbing its hands together with this deal, as they hold the right to 30% of the revenue from a future transfer, which could amount to an interesting sum of nearly four million euros. Costinha heads to the Premier League after establishing himself as a key player at Olympiakos. “His defensive reliability, energy on the right flank, and growing influence on the ball made him a standout figure for Olympiakos, both domestically and in European competitions,” highlighted Brighton. Albion have agreed the signing of Costinha from Olympiacos on a five-year contract for undisclosed terms, subject to international clearance. 🤝 Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton’s coach, praised the new signing, stating that the player had been monitored for some time. “Costinha is a player we have been closely following for some time. He has the defensive capabilities, intensity, and understanding of what we value, and we feel he will be an excellent addition to the squad,” declared the coach. Hurzeler also added that the Portuguese full-back “is comfortable with and without the ball and will add competitiveness” in the right-back position: “I am very pleased that he has chosen to continue his development with us in the Premier League.”
