Santos starlet Marcos Leonardo has been linked with moves to Man United and Roma this week – xGOLD first made us aware of the young striker in June 2022 and we’ve recommended him to several European sides since having tracked him last season.

Who is Marcos Leonardo?

“Marcos Leonardo is an exciting 20-year-old striker who shows immense potential. He shows good strength and great maturity for his age. But what is most outstanding about his play is his movement off the ball. He is constantly getting in behind and finding spaces with well-timed runs. Once he gets into dangerous positions, he can link up the play and even finish when given a chance. He can improve his ball retention but definitely has the potential to be a future star striker.”
