João Costa

In August 2026, reports indicated that João Costa's loan to Cruzeiro included a purchase option worth €6 million and a loan fee of around €1 million. Other reports around the same time valued the loan investment between approximately €900,000 and €1.3 million (converted from R$5-7 million). His market value was also listed at €2.5 million by Transfermarkt in August 2026. Historically, he completed a transfer from AS Roma to Al-Ettifaq in September 2024 for a fee of €9 million.

Our valuation for João Costa is primarily driven by the reported €6 million purchase option included in his August 2026 loan move to Cruzeiro. This figure is supported by his significant €9 million transfer from Roma to Al Ettifaq in September 2024, suggesting a slight decrease in value but keeping it in a high range. The reported loan fees of around €1 million are also consistent with this valuation.
