God forgives. The internet does not. And the early hours of Wednesday (27) turned into absolute madness for São Paulo fans after supporters discovered that the president Al-Hilal

Valued at 18 million euros (approximately R$ 113.6 million) and with a contract until June 2029 with the Arab billionaires, the 22-year-old player is far, very far from the recruitment profile outlined by the Morumbi club, which is financially struggling and cutting expenses due to the cap imposed by the investment fund.

Even so, of course, the team of faith has a fanbase that prefers to dream and pray out loud. Fair enough, after all, we’re talking about São Paulo. And emotion has taken over the internet in the past few hours.

Groups are organizing to invade the profiles of Marcos Leonardo’s family and friends showing how happy he would be at Morumbi. And he could finally fulfill his dream of playing for Tricolor.

Yes, according to the “super detectives,” Marcos Leonardo is a São Paulo supporter. This lacks sources, since the photos used to illustrate this claim are, in fact, from when the striker was just a student at a club academy in the countryside and went to watch a match at Tricolor’s home accompanied by his father and coaches (wearing, of course, the uniform).

Be that as it may, at the very least, Marcos Leonardo has the attention of São Paulo fans, since the topic has become one of the most talked about in these early hours of the day.

Without him and two other options (Calleri and Ryan Francisco, who are also at Reffis), Hernán Crespo has, to field in attack as a natural center forward, his compatriot Dinneno, a name who arrived from Cruzeiro back when the coach was Luis Zubeldía, who actually recommended him to Tricolor (a fact, by the way, that may contribute to his limited use under the new manager).

Besides Dinneno, other players could be improvised, such as wingers Ferreirinha and Tapia, as well as Luciano, who can play as a false 9.

With a spending cap and budget limit, Tricolor is struggling to go to the market in search of a name to strengthen its ranks. The option is for someone free on the market or who comes on loan. Time is running out, as the transfer window closes on September 2.
