Liverpool Have Set Their Sights On This Gifted Forward: Should The Reds Snap Him Up? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Liverpool have set their sights on Al Hilal forward Marcos Leonardo. It has been revealed that the Reds are eyeing a move to bring the Brazilian striker to Merseyside in the summer transfer window.

Leonardo’s Impressive Form In Saudi Football

Leonardo has enjoyed a good run of form at the Saudi club this season as he has put in a run of productive displays for them in the final third. The 22-year-old has found the back of the net 15 times and secured one assist in 29 matches for Al-Hilal in this campaign so far across all competitions.

The Brazilian talent is currently among the most consistent strikers in Saudi football. Thus, it is no surprise that the Reds are showing interest in recruiting him this summer.

His current contract at the Saudi club will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for Liverpool to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.

Should Liverpool Snap Leonardo Up This Summer?

Leonardo excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to play some decisive passes in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.

The Brazilian talent can be a decent goal-getter up top when he is playing with confidence on the field. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Reds manage to bring him on board later this year.

We can expect Leonardo to add more goals to Liverpool‘s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Merseyside club in the coming seasons.

At 22, Leonardo has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Reds to consider at the end of this campaign. He will also help the Premier League outfit compete across all fronts in the coming seasons. Thus, it is only logical for Liverpool to try everything in their power to acquire the services of the Brazilian forward later this year.
