Lecce sign Leonardo Fajardo from FC Porto | OneFootball

Leonardo Fajardo, a 19-year-old forward who won the national junior title with FC Porto last season, will continue his career in Italy with Lecce. Initially, the player will join the under-20 team.

The deal could earn the Dragons up to €250,000, depending on the agreed targets being met, while FC Porto will also retain 35 percent of the capital gain from any future transfer.

The blue-and-white club also secured a right of first refusal on the forward should Lecce receive offers to sign him.

Born in Lisbon, Fajardo began his youth career at Sporting before moving, while still young, to Linda-a-Velha. In 2021, he joined FC Porto, which loaned him to Casa Pia two years later.

Throughout his time in the Dragons youth system, the forward scored 80 goals in 107 official matches.
