Marcos Leonardo

Recent reports from July 2026 concerning a move to Ajax mention several figures: a verbal agreement for a €17.5 million fee, a maximum fee of €19 million, and other reports of a €25 million fee. Earlier, in March-April 2026, Al Hilal's asking price was reportedly around £55 million (approx. €65 million) amid interest from Premier League clubs. A collapsed loan move to Atlético Madrid in February 2026 reportedly included a €40 million purchase option. In late 2025, Al Hilal reportedly rejected a £20 million (approx. €24 million) offer from West Ham and a €25 million bid from CSKA Moscow. His completed transfer from Benfica to Al Hilal in September 2024 was for €40 million, following a move from Santos to Benfica for €18 million in January 2024. His Transfermarkt value is consistently cited at around €20 million.

Our valuation is driven by the very recent and strong rumours of a transfer for Marcos Leonardo to Ajax in July 2026. Reports contain conflicting but clustered figures, with agreed fees cited between €17.5 million and €25 million. This represents a significant decrease from his €40 million transfer to Al Hilal in September 2024, a drop explained by the player's reported desire to return to Europe and Al Hilal's need to free up a foreign player slot.
