Léo Ortiz stated that the prospect of playing in European football is always appealing and that after the season concludes, it will be possible to evaluate what is best for all parties concerning a potential move. He also said that his staff, which includes his agent and sister, manages these issues while his focus is on the current season. Ortiz mentioned that significant interest arises during the transfer window, for which he is grateful because it reflects the value of his performance throughout the year.

An unknown Bundesliga club has also shown interest in Léo Ortiz and has communicated this interest to Flamengo. The club is preparing for tough negotiations as Flamengo is reluctant to sell one of their key players late in the transfer window.

Juventus Turin is interested in signing Léo Ortiz from Flamengo as a replacement for the long-term injured Bremer. Léo Ortiz holds an Italian passport but has played exclusively in Brazil. Flamengo is not interested in selling him, but they have stated that a transfer would require activating his release clause of 30 million euros.
