Done Deal: Alberto Costa to join Juventus

 

 

Juventus have made a significant move in the winter transfer market by finalizing the acquisition of Alberto Costa from Vitoria Guimaraes. This marks the club’s first signing of the January window, as they aim to bolster their squad under the guidance of coach Thiago Motta.

 

The agreement for Costa’s transfer has been set at a fee ranging between €12 million and €13 million, with additional bonuses potentially bringing the total to €15 million. The 21-year-old right-back is expected to arrive in Italy this week to undergo medical examinations and officially sign his contract, which will reportedly include an annual salary of €500,000 that may increase over time. ............

 

His performance has caught the attention of several clubs, but Juventus successfully outmaneuvered competition from AS Roma and Sporting Lisbon, who were also interested in his services. ............

 

Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has been keen on balancing youth and experience within the squad. ............

 

Giuntoli commented on the club’s broader objectives: “The strategy is to strengthen the team in the defensive department and look around to see if there are any opportunities in other departments.” He acknowledged the challenges of finding impactful players during the January transfer window but expressed optimism about upcoming developments.

Juventus, Vitoria Guimaraes agree to deal for Alberto Costa

 

 

Help in defense looks like it’s on the way for Thiago Motta and Juventus. ............

 

Juventus and Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes have agreed to a deal for fullback Alberto Costa. The total package is worth up to €15 million, according to Romano, with Juventus paying an initial €12.5 million fee for the 21-year-old right back and another €2.5 million in add-ons. The deal picked up serious steam over the weekend, with Juventus and Vitoria advancing in negotiations early Sunday after word that Costa had rejected other offers from the likes of the Premier League and Serie A came out.

 

It’s still a bit of an unknown when Costa will arrive in Turin to undergo his medicals and sign his contract with Juventus. But, at the very least, Juventus will soon have another defender to add to their ranks during a time in which Motta has been essentially had the bare minimum of players available at the back for the better part of the last four or six weeks. ............

 

With the addition of Costa, it means Nicolo Savona — who has been asked to play a whole lot more than anybody expected when he was first promoted from the Next Gen squad — will have a little more depth again at right back. It would, in theory, allow Andrea Cambiaso to go back to being a full-time left back once he’s fully fit again, with Weston McKennie also available in a pinch if necessary.

 

So far this season with Vitoria, Costa has a goal and a pair of assists and has played 1,289 minutes across 18 appearances in all competitions. ............

OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus sign Vitoria Guimaraes fullback Alberto Costa

Juventus have made their first signing of the January transfer window, and it is very much at a position of need.

 

 

 

As Juventus headed into their first weekend of Serie A action for 2025, it felt like help was on the way to try and alleviate the defensive depth crunch that Thiago Motta has had to deal with for the better part of the last three months. ............

 

Juventus announced Wednesday evening that 21-year-old Portuguese fullback Alberto Costa has completed his move to Turin from Vitoria Guimaraes for an initial fee of €12.5 million. Worked into the deal for Costa are another €2.5 million in bonuses as well as €1.3 million in ancillary costs. Costa, a member of Portugal’s Under-20 setup, has signed a contract with Juventus through 2029 and has been praised in the official announcement as somebody who has the “ability to read defensive situations, combined with a good sense of positioning and willingness to push forward.” ............

 

So here he is, folks. Here is Alberto. Here is the first player to wear the No. 2 jersey since our beloved Mattia De Sciglio left Juventus last summer. Those are big shoes to fill.

 

Costa, who turned 21 back in September, has made 10 league appearances in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and is the second-youngest player in Portugal to record at least two assists this season. ............

 

With Costa’s signings, Juventus will have another option at right back and be able to give another 21-year-old, Nicolo Savona, a bit of a respite after playing a huge amount of minutes the last two months. ............

Alberto Costa: Who Is New Defender Signed By Juventus?

 

 

Having been held to yet another draw on Tuesday evening, Juventus wasted little time in making changes as defender Alberto Costa arrived in Turin for a medical the very next morning. ............

 

The 21-year-old will reportedly cost the Bianconeri a fee of around €13 million, a move that will almost certainly see him expected to compete with Nicolò Savona in his preferred role at right-back.

 

Naturally right-footed, Costa stands 6’1” (1.86m) tall and – according to Vitoria Guimaraes President Antonio Miguel Cardoso – refused a move to Brighton in favour of joining Juventus. ............

 

Statistically solid, Costa looks like a sharp addition by Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli and a player who can make a two-way impact thanks to his solid defensive qualities and his desire to press forward when his side is in possession. ............

 

He has averaged 3.2 tackles, 1.2 interceptions and won 1.2 aerial duels per 90 minutes, while blocking two passes, 0.8 crosses and 0.3 shots.

 

 

Costa ranks in the 95th percentile for tackles and 94th for interceptions, while the same site highlights his offensive impact, his 3.6 progressive carries placing him in the 96th percentile among defenders.

 

Costa also sits in the 99th percentile with 2.06 successful take-ons per 90, while his average of 3.1 scoring chances per 90 also puts the 21-year-old in the 95th percentile across Europe’s most popular leagues. ............

“I’m very happy to be here and excited to start working and playing. When Juventus contacted me, everything happened very quickly. When I received the news, it took me a while to realise, but the choice to come here was obvious. It was a very simple decision.” ............
