Brazilian football writer and observer Wagner Veloso released an information. Nineteen-year-old Santos striker Marcos Leonardo has been bought by an English club! Milton Neves, the TV presenter, said about this player: Leonardo is going to Liverpool! Transfer stories abound around the Brazilian’s young talent at the moment.
However, clubs in Europe are after Leonardo. Another talent emerged from Santos where Pele played. Leo scored 12 goals in 29 league appearances last season. Leo debuted in Santos’ senior team in 2020. Five goals in the first year, seven goals in the second year and twelve goals in the third season. Consistent performance is Leo’s hallmark.
Leonardo has been compared to Brazilian football legend Romario. But Leo’s childhood hero is Ricardo Oliveira. Leo also admires Romario, Adriano, Luis Suarez, Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino have left Liverpool, but five forwards are still with the Anfield club. Mohamed Salah’s contract renewal is a big relief for Liverpool. Luis Diaz, Diego Jota and Robert Firmino are also in the squad. Even if Leonardo joins Liverpool, he will get limited playing time in the Premier League. Coach Jurgen Klopp needs to develop a player to replace Firmino, who is out of contract next year. The Santos player is the best fit for that position.
