Officials at Al Hilal Club have decided not to back down from the idea of letting Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo, a first-team player, leave at the end of the current season, regardless of his performance in the upcoming rounds. This move reflects the management’s desire to restructure the attacking line.
Marketing the Player in Europe
Al Hilal officials hope that Marcos Leonardo will continue to shine in the coming period, aiming to attract the attention of European clubs to sign him, most notably Spanish side Atlético Madrid, which had planned to loan him during the winter transfer window, in an effort to financially market him and achieve a lucrative financial return.
Financial Return Exceeding $25 Million
Al Hilal officials seek to sell the Brazilian player for a financial sum of at least $25 million in the upcoming summer transfer window, in order to make room for signing a new foreign striker in the future, based on the recommendation of head coach Simone Inzaghi to strengthen the team’s squad.
Inzaghi Welcomes Departure Despite Return
The Italian coach had previously welcomed Leonardo’s departure, but his return to the lineup came amid numerous injuries and the absence of veteran French striker Karim Benzema, the main forward, which forced the coaching staff to rely on him temporarily until a suitable replacement is signed.
Al Hilal’s Summer Plan
Al Hilal officials are seeking to secure a future European offer to sell Marcos Leonardo, especially given the presence of more than one foreign striker on the wish list to be signed in the upcoming summer transfer window, which will ensure strengthening the attacking line with elements capable of leading the team to compete in all tournaments.
