Yes, Tuesday (2), the last day of the transfer window in national football, is completely crazy, with São Paulo fans going wild on social media, seeking updates almost every minute about the arrival of Marcos Leonardo.

As reported by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR already in the early evening today, the saga drags on until the end, with yet another meeting still without a decision on the future of the forward, currently at Al Hilal, Saudi Arabia.

The attacking midfielder Lucas Moura and SAO, the official São Paulo store, however, decided to further fuel the fire of the topic and made posts on social media about the negotiation.

“I spoke with a friend of mine from Al Hilal and he assured me this: we are negotiating, but it's not that simple,” Lucas commented, with the final part written in Arabic, responding to a fan page on social media.

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

The signs are becoming stronger, the hope of some São Paulo fans increases, while for others it diminishes, but we will only truly know if Marcos Leonardo is a Tricolor player at least until 11:59 PM this Tuesday.

The Saudi promise is that a response will be given before this time. Whether or not it comes with the expected and dreamed document eagerly 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 in hand a proposal from another Saudi club for the loan of the forward, so they need to evaluate what is best for them with a team asset. It is important to note that Marcos Leonardo has already refused to stay in the Asian country.
