Bruno Xavier Almeida Costa (born 19 April 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 2 club Valenciennes.

Club career

Porto

Born in Oliveira de Azeméis, Aveiro District, Costa joined FC Porto in 2009 at the age of 12, from C.D. Feirense.[2] On 14 August 2016, he made his professional debut with the former's reserves in a 1–0 home win against Académico de Viseu F.C. in the LigaPro where he played 35 minutes.[3] He scored his first goal in the competition on 22 October 2017, helping the hosts to defeat Varzim S.C. by 3–0.[4]

Costa appeared in his first competitive match with the first team debut on 6 March 2018 in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League away to Liverpool, a goalless draw in the second leg following a 5–0 loss at the Estádio do Dragão.[5][6] His Primeira Liga bow took place on 13 April 2019, in a 3–0 away victory over Portimonense S.C. in which he was an 82nd-minute substitute for Yacine Brahimi.[7][8]

Portimonense

It was reported on 8 January 2020 that Costa had signed for Portimonense also of the top division on loan for the rest of the season.[9] Two days later, the Algarvean club's president confirmed this was instead an 18-month transfer.[10] He made his debut on 11 January in a goalless home game with F.C. Paços de Ferreira, replacing Fernando Medeiros at half-time.[11]

Costa joined Paços de Ferreira on 17 August 2020, on a season-long loan.[12] He scored his first goal in the Portuguese top flight on 30 October, from a penalty in a 3–2 home defeat of former side Porto.[13]

Return to Porto

Costa returned to Porto on 6 July 2021, agreeing to a three-year deal.[14] In January 2022, following successive injuries to Wilson Manafá and João Mário, he was used by manager Sérgio Conceição as an emergency right-back.[15] He scored his only competitive goal on 16 October that year, closing the 6–0 away win over Anadia F.C. in the third round of the Taça de Portugal.[16]

In January 2023, Costa was relegated to the B team after reportedly falling out with Conceição due to a lack of effort in practice.[17] On 4 February, he equalised an eventual 1–2 home loss against B-SAD through a Panenka-style penalty.[18]

Valenciennes

On 2 September 2023, Costa signed a one-year contract with French Ligue 2 club Valenciennes FC.[19][20]

International career

Costa earned the first of his three caps for Portugal at under-21 level on 25 May 2018, playing 45 minutes in the 3–2 friendly win over Italy in Estoril.[21]
