Liverpool Eye Al‑Hilal Striker Marcos Leonardo as Summer Target

A deal would likely require a fee near £55m given his contract to 2029.

Overview

  • Multiple reports this week link Liverpool with the 22-year-old Brazilian, with Tottenham also scouting the forward.
  • Leonardo has 10 Saudi Pro League goals and 15 in all competitions this season for Al‑Hilal.
  • He joined Al‑Hilal from Benfica in September 2024 for about €40m and is tied to the club until 2029.
  • Liverpool value his ability to play as a central striker or false nine, and reporting projects him as a rotation option rather than a starter ahead of Alexander Isak or Hugo Ekitike.
  • Coverage traces the links to Sports Boom, relayed by Yahoo Sports, and notes no confirmed bid, with any move likely needing a significant fee and the player to push for a return to Europe.
