Winter attack by Brazilian top clubs on Ajax striker Marcos Leonardo

Marcos Leonardo is linked with a winter transfer in Brazil, because he only has a reserve role at Ajax and so far has scored just three goals in sixteen matches, while he was purchased last summer from Al-Hilal for twenty million euros.

At Ajax he is not preferred, because coach Míchel Tolu Arokodare always takes the striker position for himself. So far he has not provided a single assist for the club.

According to the Brazilian Terra, Flamengo, São Paulo and Santos want to welcome him in the winter. Santos, the latter club, already knew the 23‑year‑old from his debut in professional football. There he later played 168 matches and scored 54 goals.

The Brazilian powerhouses would like to loan him with a purchase option. Whether Ajax already welcomes a (temporary) departure of the top signing remains unclear.
