Yes, this Tuesday (2), the last day of the transfer window in Brazilian football, is absolutely crazy, with São Paulo fans completely losing their minds on social media, looking for updates almost every minute about the arrival of Marcos Leonardo.

To paraphrase the famous meme: FANS, CALM DOWN!

As reported by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR earlier this evening, the saga drags on until the very end, with yet another meeting still with no decision on the striker’s future, currently at Al Hilal, Saudi Arabia.

Attacking midfielder Lucas Moura and SAO, São Paulo’s official store, however, decided to further fuel the fire and made posts on social media about the negotiation.

“I spoke with a friend of mine over at Al Hilal and he assured me of this: we’re negotiating, but it’s not that simple,” warned Lucas’s comment, with the final part written in Arabic, replying to a fan page on social media.

SAO also made a cryptic post, with a message in Arabic, referencing Lucas’s post, but deleted it moments later: “The best place to buy São Paulo’s jersey is the official online store,” it said.

The signs are getting stronger and stronger, the hope of some São Paulo fans is rising, for others it’s fading, but we’ll only really know if Marcos Leonardo is a Tricolor player at least until 11:59 p.m. this Tuesday.

The Saudi promise is that an answer will be given before that time. Whether or not it comes with the long-awaited and dreamed-of document, anxiously awaited by more than 20 million Tricolor fans around the world.

One of the most dramatic points of the meeting was Al Hilal’s statement that they have an offer from another Saudi club for the striker’s loan, so they need to evaluate what’s best for them with this team asset. It’s important to note that Marcos Leonardo has already refused to stay in the Asian country.
