Porto ‘to consider’ move for Marcos Leonardo after André Silva arrival | OneFootball

Porto are assessing a move for Al Hilal striker Marcos Leonardo as they weigh further attacking reinforcements despite André Silva's arrival.

According to MaisFutebol, the former Benfica forward is among the options under review by the structure led by Francesco Farioli, and for now it remains only an idea being evaluated.

Last season he scored 19 goals in 39 games for Al Hilal. His situation in Saudi Arabia could change, with the Riyadh club looking to free foreign-player slots.

The Brazilian has previously been linked with Atlético Madrid, and more recently Fiorentina are understood to have submitted a formal offer. Italian competition could complicate any Porto approach.

Leonardo spent 2023/24 at Benfica after an 18 million euros move from Santos, before joining Al Hilal for about 40 million. At 23, he still targets a return to European football and keeps alive his Brazil national team ambition.
