Orlando, Florida – Gustavo Costa, the gifted Brazilian attacking midfielder is on the brink of bringing his electric talent to the United States. After a decade-long professional journey across Europe and the Middle East, Gustavo has emerged as one of the most sought-after free agents eyeing a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) for the upcoming season.
Costa known for his commanding presence and tactical intelligence, is charting his next move in the MLS promising to bring a large fan base and his dynamic talents to American soil.
The Brazilian and Portuguese star, most recently led APO Levadiakos to a Greek division championship in the 2024 season—a testament to his leadership and consistency on the pitch. His earlier triumph with Portimonense SC, where he helped secure the 2017 Portuguese LigaPro title, further reinforces his reputation as a serial contributor to team success. Across nearly 200 professional appearances, Costa has proven himself as an attacking force with a versatile edge—capable of orchestrating from midfield or pushing forward to influence the final third.
With an estimated valuation of approximately €1 million euros, Costa represents the rare combination of technical refinement, international adaptability, and championship pedigree. His playing history spans a range of systems and footballing cultures, including wins in Portugal, Greece, Romania, and Qatar. At every stop, he has demonstrated the rare ability to elevate team performance while integrating seamlessly into diverse tactical frameworks.
Now, he is being courted by a number of clubs in the United States. According to his agent, John Tapia, “Gustavo is one of the most sought-after players for the upcoming season. We’re weighing multiple offers from MLS franchises looking to build around a high-caliber midfield presence.”
Costa’s arrival would mark yet another landmark for MLS as it continues to attract international stars of the highest caliber. His playing style—characterized by vision, precision passing, and spatial awareness—resonates with the league’s current evolution, especially as it builds on the high-profile acquisitions of global icons like Messi, Suárez, and Marcelo.
For American clubs with aspirations beyond the domestic game, Costa is not just a transfer target—he is a foundational piece. His next move may very well reshape the midfield landscape in MLS, while reinforcing the league’s commitment to integrating elite international athletes ready to make an immediate impact.
