David Costas Extends Tenure with Oviedo Until 2028

Real Oviedo secures a key player for the future, as David Costas extends his contract until 2028. This extension comes just as his previous contract was set to expire on June 30. The timing is particularly meaningful, as the Galician central defender has recently reached the milestone of 150 official matches with the club, underscoring his importance to the team.

Costas is not merely a dependable defender; he embodies hierarchy, character, and leadership. He commands respect on the pitch and in the locker room, earning admiration from teammates, coaching staff, and fans alike. His presence has been pivotal, with injuries being the only factor that has sidelined him over the years. When fit, he has consistently been a crucial element of Oviedo’s lineup.

His connection with Oviedo is unique. Costas first arrived at the Estadio Tartiere during the second half of the 2015-16 season on loan, and that stint left a lasting impact on both him and the club. In 2021, he returned as a free agent, reigniting a period of stability that will now extend to seven and a half seasons representing Oviedo.

During several seasons, he formed a formidable partnership with Dani Calvo, creating one of the most reliable central-defensive duos in the Segunda División. Although muscle issues occasionally hampered his availability, they never diminished his significance within the club.

Last weekend, Costas achieved his 150th match with Oviedo, solidifying his status as one of the most emblematic players in the club’s recent history. The fan response was immediate, with social media flooded with messages celebrating the news of a player who, despite being born in Galicia, has become an integral part of the carbayona family.
