According to a new report by 3 Added Minutes, a leading British sports media, Roma's young striker João Costa is about to reach an important turning point in his career. The 19-year-old Portuguese star is expected to make a new start in his career by joining English Champions League rivals Hull City on loan.
João Costa has failed to get enough playing time in the first team since his move to Roma from Brazilian giants Corinthians in 2021. Despite showing some potential in pre-season, he has so far failed to secure his place in Roma's first-team squad. Faced with such a situation, joining the Championship on loan has become an important way for João Costa to seek a breakthrough and gain match experience.
Roma and Hull City have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement on the loan of João Costa, meaning the Portuguese U19 international is about to embark on a brand new journey. For João Costa, joining Hull City will not only mean that he will get more stable opportunities to play, but also be able to practice his technical and tactical skills in a higher level league, which is undoubtedly of great significance to his career development.
João Costa, who holds dual Portuguese and Brazilian citizenship, had a record of appearances for the Portuguese U19 national team last year, showing a lot of potential. In Roma's first team last season, he was only given five appearances, but each appearance showed his potential and talent. Joining Hull City on loan is a rare opportunity for him to grow, and he is expected to grow quickly in his new environment, laying a solid foundation for his future career.
