Real Madrid Monitoring Brazilian Sensation with Potential January Move

Real Madrid’s recent shift towards signing promising wonderkids continues, and the latest name on their radar is Santos’ prolific forward, Marcos Leonardo. The 20-year-old Brazilian has been in scintillating form, scoring 13 goals in the Brazilian Serie A this season, attracting attention from top clubs, including Los Blancos.

According to reports from GOAL, Santos is open to considering offers for Marcos Leonardo, with a valuation similar to a past proposal from AS Roma. The deal would involve an initial payment of €13 million, with additional bonuses potentially increasing the total package to €18 million. The player’s representatives have already conveyed this information to both Newcastle United and Real Madrid.

While Santos resisted letting Marcos Leonardo go during the summer transfer window, their stance appears to have evolved, potentially aligning with a promise made earlier in the year. For Real Madrid, the Brazilian’s arrival could provide a timely solution to their injury concerns and bolster their attacking options in the wake of Karim Benzema’s absence.

As the January transfer window approaches, the prospect of Real Madrid making a move for Marcos Leonardo remains intriguing, especially given the evident interest from various clubs in securing the services of this highly-touted Brazilian talent.
