Flamengo transfers: is Marcos Leonardo leaving Al Hilal? We check it out! | OneFootball

Is Marcos Leonardo Close to Becoming a Flamengo Player?

The name Marcos Leonardo has emerged as a potential reinforcement for Flamengo in this transfer window. Given this situation, the Coluna report sought out the movements of the Rubro-Negro for the signing of the Al Hilal (SAU) forward.

Currently, Marcos Leonardo is in a dispute with the Saudi team. According to the Coluna report, the forward is seeking to receive all the earnings he is still owed by Al Hilal. Thus, the athlete is backed by a FIFA rule.

This is because, according to FIFA regulations, which are applied by the Saudi Federation, if the athlete is not registered in local competitions, he can have his contract terminated with full payment of the amounts set in the signed agreement. As a result, the player's 'owners' are seeking alternatives for the forward.

The main intention of Marcos Leonardo's agents is to have the forward's pass free. This way, the agents could negotiate the athlete independently and, in addition, receive about 20 million euros (approximately R$ 124 million at the current exchange rate) from Al Hilal.

What is Flamengo's Situation Regarding the Signing of Marcos Leonardo?

Flamengo continues to monitor the movements related to Marcos Leonardo's future. What is known at the moment is that this negotiation does not depend solely on the Rubro-Negro to happen. In other words, the player's staff is trying to resolve issues with Al Hilal before thinking about deciding the forward's future.

Is Marcos Leonardo on the Radar of Other Teams?

Yes! Besides Flamengo, European teams are monitoring Marcos Leonardo's situation. Atlético de Madrid (ESP), for example, made an offer, but the forward's staff rejected the deal, as it would involve a salary reduction.

What is Marcos Leonardo's Situation at Al Hilal?

Marcos Leonardo has not been used at Al Hilal, as coach Inzaghi does not see him as fitting the high-pressing profile. Due to this choice, the coach is under pressure from fans, as the forward is the team's top scorer this season.

When is Flamengo's Next Game?

While Marcos Leonardo remains on the radar, the Flamengo squad is preparing to take the field this Tuesday (10th), for the third round of the Brasileirão. The match will be against Vitória, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Barradão Stadium. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
