What is missing for Marcos Leonardo to hit São Paulo?
The players’ agents traveled to Saudi Arabia last week when it started. The player wants to go back to Brazil. He has 49 games, 29 goals and three assists for the Saudi Arabia club.
With a contract with the Saudi club until the end of 2029, Sao Paulo tries to hire Marcos Leonardo on loan only until the end of this season. The striker, who will not be used in the Saudi League, the main local competition played by Al Hilal, negotiates with his current club to be released to Tricolor, who only expects the outcome of the conversations.
According to “GE.Globo”, Marcos Leonardo agreed to give up much of the salaries he would have to receive at Al Hilal until the end of 2025. In the business model attempted by Sao Paulo, the center forward would fit into the financial conditions of the Morumbis club.
However, the parts that want the transfer still await the “yes” of Al Hilal. Saudi Arabia is six hours ahead of Brazil and Tricolor has only the next hours, until 11:59 pm, to record striker Marcos Leonardo. After that, the transfers window of Brazilian football will be closed.
