Ex-Santos striker Marcos Leonardo targeted by Italian club

According to information from journalist Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sports, Napoli is interested in trading forward Lorenzo Lucca, and one of the possibilities is a deal with Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia, which would involve striker Marcos Leonardo moving to the Italian club.

Besiktas from Turkey also appears as one of the main contenders for Lorenzo Lucca, which could jeopardize the Neapolitan club’s negotiations for the Brazilian player.
