Fiorentina rivalry ramps up FC Porto chase for Marcos Leonardo | OneFootball

FC Porto are in the race for Marcos Leonardo and have reportedly already submitted an offer for the Brazilian striker, who is also being pursued 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 is expected to bring updates in the coming days.

A departure from the Saudi club is gathering 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 staying in Europe emerging as a strong possibility.

From Porto’s side, the interest in the centre-forward fits into the search for alternatives in the attacking department. Fiorentina’s competition, 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 the event of a permanent sale, with reports pointing to a figure of around €40 million. 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.
