Although he left Portugal, and Vitória SC, just six months ago, the young fullback Alberto Costa has sparked interest in this transfer market and Sporting, a long-time admirer of the player, has stepped forward. However, Juventus is making the deal difficult.
As reported by international media, and confirmed by zerozero, the Lions have made a bid for the 21-year-old fullback valued at 13 million euros, which could increase with future objectives.
However, contrary to what has been reported, and as found by our portal, the Vecchia Signora is not willing, at this stage, to let the player go, not only because their coach, Igor Tudor, values his characteristics, but also because he was a significant investment in the winter market of 2025 - costing 12.5 million euros.
Furthermore, the player's own desires play a role. Despite appreciating the work of Rui Borges, the coach who launched him at Vitória SC and helped him make this significant leap in his career, Alberto Costa intends, for now, to continue with Juventus and secure his place.
It is worth recalling that the player was the main target for Sporting CP for the right-back position last season, but the club from Alvalade did not reach the figures demanded by Vitória SC. Brighton also entered the scene and the Conquistadores accepted the offer from the Premier League, however, it was declined by the player. He ended up signing with Juventus.
