São Paulo target striker linked with Flamengo move | OneFootball

Marcos Leonardo was in Flamengo's sights in 2023

Brazilian teams have until September 2 to sign players who play in foreign clubs. For this reason, São Paulo inquired about the signing of Marcos Leonardo, from Al Hilal (SAU), who had already been contacted by Flamengo in 2023.

Marcos Leonardo is not in Al Hilal's plans for the next season. Therefore, the Saudi team is looking to open a spot for a foreign player in the squad, paving the way for a possible blockbuster signing. Recently, the Saudi Arabian team signed Darwin Núñez, former Liverpool (ENG).

However, São Paulo did not proceed with negotiations to have Marcos Leonardo in the squad. This is because the São Paulo team believes there is little time to conclude the negotiations, as the transfer window closes on September 2.

Did Flamengo inquire about the signing of Marcos Leonardo?

Yes! In the 2023 season, Marcos Leonardo still had a contract with Santos. Therefore, Flamengo was monitoring the situation of the forward, who wanted to leave the São Paulo team. However, the Most Beloved did not make any offers.

Does Flamengo plan to buy any more players?

Currently, Flamengo is not focused on signing any players. The Most Beloved has confirmed the arrivals of Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, Saúl and Carrascal. All the reinforcements, in fact, have already made their debut with the Sacred Mantle.
