Many Wolves fans have been left to flock to a transfer update involving Samu Costa.
As per Diario de Almeria, the Midlands club are eyeing a potential move for the Portugal U20 international in the summer window, but would have to pay a fee of €25m (£21.5m) for his signature.
Costa is certainly a promising player having represented his country at youth level, and helped Almeria reach the La Liga 2 play-offs while on loan from Braga, playing in 40 games in total over all competitions in the 2020/21 season, scoring two goals and making one assist (Transfermarkt).
However, £21.5m is certainly a bit excessive for someone who has not really proved himself at the highest level, and at just 20 years of age, is still relatively raw.
Wolves fans on Costa transfer update
These members of the Molineux faithful seemed split as the transfer update was shared on Twitter, with one WWFC supporter even going as far as to claim that it was 'very underwhelming':
"If this is first team squad signing then it's very underwhelming. Not exactly an upgrade on anyone and not someone we're exactly excited to see"
"Another garbage youngster from Portugal!!"
"41 senior games. €25m. Make it make sense"
"Have I watched a lot of his videos on YouTube....maybe. But he's got a great left foot by the looks, could offer great balance in midfield. Seems to love to run with it too. Very powerful. Only criticism is you could probs get Zambo same price. If that's what you want. A unit...."
"I actually wouldn’t mind this. Only seen Almeria play a couple cup games, but he looks like a really promising midfielder and Braga fans seem to rate him. Could be a good squad addition if we’re desperate for midfielders"
