Real Madrid has created one of the strongest youth teams in Europe. With players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and others in their early twenties, as well as Arda Guler, who is still just 18, and Endrick still to arrive, the club has a core ready for the next decade.
The only position on the club without a long-term solution is center-forward. After Karim Benzema’s departure, there have been many doubts over who will replace that position for the foreseeable future.
Many world-class centre-forwards have been connected with Real Madrid in the past, most notably Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. However, the club may also consider going in a different way.
According to ge.globo, Marcos Leonardo, a star for Santos, has caught the attention of Real Madrid. Los Blancos sought information on the athlete from the athlete’s representatives. There is currently no formalization of a proposal.
Real Madrid has made touch with the 20-year-old Brazilian attacker.
Leonardo is most likely a player few Real Madrid fans are acquainted with, but he may be very soon. With 13 goals, the 20-year-old is presently the fourth-highest scorer in the Brazilian Serie A and the main man for Santos, who are counting heavily on him to escape relegation.
Real Madrid might face competition for Leonardo’s signing from clubs such as Newcastle United and AS Roma. The Italian club is said to have been extremely close to signing the Brazilian striker last summer.
A hypothetical Brazilian front three of Vinicius, Leonardo, and Rodrygo could be quite exciting for Real Madrid in the coming years. Let’s wait and see whether it becomes a reality.
