Flamengo is considering acquiring Al Hilal's 22-year-old Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo as an alternative if their negotiations for Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro do not progress. Flamengo has been working on this possibility without public announcement. The club has not yet submitted an official proposal to the Saudi club for the player, who has a contract until June 2029. Negotiations for Kaio Jorge have not progressed after Cruzeiro rejected an offer of €24 million plus the player Everton Cebolinha. Cruzeiro would prefer the inclusion of Luiz Araújo and a transfer fee greater than €30 million. Marcos Leonardo's situation at Al Hilal has recently changed; he was nearly loaned to São Paulo when he was not registered to play in the Saudi league, but he was later added to the squad after another foreign player sustained an injury. This season, he has scored 7 goals in 9 appearances in the Saudi Pro League. The forward moved to Al Hilal from Benfica for a reported €40 million in September 2024, only months after joining the Portuguese club from Santos for €18 million. In late 2025, Al Hilal reportedly rejected a €25 million bid from CSKA Moscow and a separate £20 million offer from West Ham United. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €20.00m.
