Guardian Rute Costa, 31 years old, left Benfica and is preparing a new cycle. The Portuguese international from Barcelos took to social media this Tuesday to say goodbye to the club she has represented since 2022. «The desert crossing (…) has come to an end. Sometimes life opens doors for us, but we insist on staying where there are only walls. Maybe out of hope, out of innocence, out of belief or because our principles and values are so well defined that we refuse to give up. Sometimes we run, but we never arrive. You have to accept it. Thank you to all the “oxygen balloon” people who made this trip a little lighter, but still too heavy. It’s time to be happy again.” Rute Costa only played one game this season, totaling 52 appearances for the Eagles. In this cycle he won the League (three), Portuguese Cup (two), Super Cup and League Cup (three). Formerly goalkeeper for Boavista, Clube de Albergaria and Sp. Braga, the Portuguese international is looking for a new direction. Follow all the news on the transfer market.
