Top scorer of the Brasileirão 2025, Kaio Jorge is the main target for Flamengo for the striker position in 2026. However, the Rubro-Negro has not yet managed to convince Cruzeiro to release the player. Thus, Marcos Leonardo emerges as 'plan B' for Mengão.

How much does Flamengo need to spend to sign Marcos Leonardo?

In the Saudi Arabian press, it is speculated that Marcos Leonardo costs 25 million euros (R$ 160 million at the current exchange rate). However, it is worth noting that the player is a key starter for Al Hilal and is part of the Saudi team's plans for the remainder of the season.

In the 2025/26 season, Marcos Leonardo has played 16 games and scored 11 goals. The last goal was scored this Sunday (04), in a 2-0 victory over Damac FC (SAU), away, in the Saudi Championship.

How is the negotiation with Cruzeiro for Kaio Jorge?

The last offer that Flamengo presented to Cruzeiro was 24 million euros (about R$ 155 million) plus Everton Cebolinha. The striker is internally valued at eight million euros (R$ 51 million).

However, Cruzeiro rejected the Flamengo offer and responded that they are open to exchanging Everton Cebolinha for Luiz Araújo in the negotiation. However, the Rubro-Negro does not wish to involve the number 7 in a possible signing of Kaio Jorge. Thus, the name Marcos Leonardo is gaining strength at Mengão.
