Samú Costa is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Mallorca, rated 81.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 64th of 389 in the La Liga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (88.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Costa.
Judged on this season alone, Costa graded 65 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 34 defensive midfielders in the La Liga, on 7 goals, 2 assists and 3.46 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 40 → 65). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 81, top 18% of the 34 defensive midfielders in the La Liga. At 25 Costa is in his prime years, and a market index of 72.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Costa missed 4 games through injury (injured doubtful, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 34 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Costa is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 81.4, Costa carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the La Liga (top 18%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Mallorca finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~72), then tapers with age. At 25, Costa sits on 72.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Costa's projected Rating — 81.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
