Mamelodi Sundowns attacking midfielder Ribeiro Costa, who has been making headlines in recent weeks over his fallout with the club, is now at the centre of fresh speculation—this time about a lucrative deal with Qatari side Qatar SC.
The player, affectionately known in football circles as “Speed Point,” is allegedly set to earn a massive salary that runs into seven figures in South African Rand at his new club in the Qatar Stars League.
A viral post that surfaced on Facebook on Thursday has fuelled widespread interest, revealing the midfielder’s reported earnings at Qatar SC. This comes shortly after Costa took his dispute with Mamelodi Sundowns to the FIFA Football Tribunal in an effort to terminate his contract.
According to multiple reports, the talented number 10 is allegedly poised to earn around $7,000 per week—an amount equivalent to approximately R126,000 at current exchange rates.
While neither Qatar SC nor Ribeiro Costa’s representatives have officially confirmed the figures, the reported salary has raised eyebrows among local fans and added another dramatic twist to the player’s ongoing saga with the reigning DStv Premiership champions.
Costa’s move to Qatar SC marks a significant chapter in his career, and should the salary reports prove accurate, it could place him among the highest-earning South African exports in recent years.
