David Costas Cordal (born 26 March 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for UD Almería on loan from RC Celta de Vigo.

Club career

Born in Vigo, Galicia, Costas played youth football with hometown's RC Celta de Vigo.[2] On 25 August 2013, only two months after finishing his junior career[3] and without having appeared for the reserves, the 18-year-old made his first-team – and La Liga – debut for the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Augusto Fernández in the 77th minute of a 2–1 away win against Real Betis.[4]

On 31 August 2015, Costas renewed his contract until 2019, being immediately loaned out to RCD Mallorca.[5] On 14 January 2017, he joined fellow second division club Real Oviedo also on loan.[6]

Costas agreed to an extension until 2020 on 31 August 2017, and was then loaned to FC Barcelona B for one year.[7] He played his first competitive match with the latter's first team on 29 November, replacing Gerard Piqué early into the second half of a 5–0 home victory over Real Murcia for that season's Copa del Rey.[8]

On 25 January 2020, Costas moved to UD Almería on loan for the remainder of the second-tier campaign.[9]
