Leo Scienza Transfer from Southampton to Palmeiras
Italian journalist Marco Mampreso has stated that Palmeiras is among the clubs interested in Léo Scienza. It is suggested that Palmeiras may be one of the few Brazilian sides capable of making Southampton consider a sale. Palmeiras demonstrated significant spending power by signing Jhon Arias from Wolverhampton this summer. While it is not clear if Palmeiras would meet Southampton's valuation for Scienza, it is argued that their financial position places them in a different category from other Brazilian clubs previously linked with the attacker. Earlier reports indicated that Southampton valued the player at approximately €29m (£25m). However, Marco Mampreso reports that the financial impact of Southampton’s situation could cause the club to reconsider their position, and Southampton may now be more open to negotiating a fee below that figure.

According to Italian journalist Marco Mampreso, Brazilian club Palmeiras have submitted an official offer to Southampton for attacker Leo Scienza. There are no details on the level of the proposal. It is also unclear whether the attacker is open to a move to Palmeiras this summer, especially with the possibility of a bid from the Premier League at some point during the window.

Several major clubs are monitoring Leo Scienza, a 27-year-old Brazilian-Luxembourgish attacking midfielder. Premier League teams Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa, along with Italian clubs AS Roma and Atalanta, are reportedly interested in him. Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Palmeiras are also said to be tracking the player. A return to Brazil is considered unlikely at this stage. Scienza could be worth more than €30 million (£25.3m) this summer. His Southampton contract runs until 2029 and does not have a release clause, and the club's promotion to the Premier League could lead to him staying. He joined Southampton in September 2025 for a €9.0M fee. This fee was an increase from the €600K that Heidenheim paid for him one year prior. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €10.00m.
