With 21 goals in all competitions, the 20-year-old striker has had a fantastic season in 2023, putting elite teams in Europe like Real Madrid and Newcastle United on notice. As per a recent report from Goal Brazil, Real Madrid has discovered the amount of money they would need to pay to get Marcos Leonardo. According to the rumour, Santos FC is currently thinking about selling its player, and the striker's team is reportedly trying to get him a transfer to Europe in January 2024.
Any offer that improves on the one that arrived from AS Roma during the last transfer window will be taken into consideration by Santos. Santos turned rejected an offer from the Giallorossi that included a set cost of €12 million and an additional €6 million in variables throughout the summer. Therefore, the Brazilian team will resist selling Leonardo until they get a definite price of €15 million plus add-ons, despite Real Madrid and Newcastle expressing interest.
