FC Porto open to loaning Léo Fajardo with option to buy | OneFootball

Léo Fajardo, forward for FC Porto's under-19 team, has attracted interest in the international market. Clubs from Spain and Italy are keeping an eye on him, and the possibility of a transfer in the near future is not ruled out.

After a productive season – 20 goals and two assists in 31 games in the 2024/25 season – the young striker has had less prominence in the juniors: in the current campaign, he has made seven appearances, all as a substitute, and has already scored five goals. Fajardo will celebrate his 19th birthday in five days.

FC Porto is open to considering a loan with a purchase option, with the club's management retaining a portion of the forward's rights to protect the club's interests.

Fajardo began his training at Sporting's youth academy, went through Linda-a-Velha, and joined FC Porto's academy in 2020. He was loaned to Casa Pia in the 2023/24 season and returned to Olival the following season. However, in the current campaign, he has been surpassed in the under-19 striker hierarchy by teammates Eduardo Ferreira and Anhá Candé.
