ESPN reports that Fiorentina was one of two other interested clubs competing with Ajax to sign Marcos Leonardo.

Fiorentina and Porto are both evaluating a move for Al Hilal's 23-year-old Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo. According to reports, the Saudi club is open to a transfer as it needs to free up slots for foreign players, and a summer exit is also favored by the player's desire to return to Europe. Last January, Atlético de Madrid had tried to sign the attacker, who has a contract with Al Hilal until June 2029.
