Fiorentina rivalry deepens FC Porto battle for Marcos Leonardo | OneFootball

FC Porto are in the race for Marcos Leonardo and are said to have already submitted an offer for the Brazilian striker, who is also wanted by Fiorentina.

The 23-year-old could be on his way out of Al Hilal in this transfer window. Talks are currently ongoing, and the player’s representatives are in Riyadh to assess the terms of a possible move, in a process that should bring developments over the coming days.

A departure from the Saudi club is gaining momentum at a time when Marcos Leonardo’s future appears increasingly far from Saudi Arabia. Among the options on the table, a return to Brazilian football does not, for now, seem to be the priority, with a move to remain in Europe emerging as a strong possibility.

From Porto’s side, the interest in the centre-forward fits their search for alternatives in attack. Competition from Fiorentina, however, promises to intensify the battle for a player who continues to attract attention in the market.

There are also indications that Al Hilal could demand a high fee in any permanent sale, with figures of around €40 million being mentioned. For now, no official details are known about the structure of the offers submitted.

Marcos Leonardo is therefore one of the names to watch in the coming days, with FC Porto and Fiorentina positioned at the front of the race to sign the Brazilian striker.
