ESPN BR provides an update on the legal situation involving Marcos Leonardo and Al Hilal. Marcos Leonardo is considering legal action for a contract termination with Al Hilal due to not being registered in the Saudi Pro League. If successful, he would be free to join any club, potentially even in Brazil, as the termination would be for just cause, allowing registration outside of regular transfer windows. He would also be entitled to receive the remaining contract value, nearly 20 million euros.
ESPN BR has reported on the current situation concerning Marcos Leonardo, a 22-year-old Brazilian striker, and the possibility of his transfer from Al Hilal. The club is attempting to avoid registering Marcos Leonardo in the Saudi League because of the restriction that limits each team to eight foreign players over the age of 21. Al Hilal is open to selling him now, with a preference for European clubs, to prevent a decline in his market value due to a lack of playing time. It is noted that Marcos Leonardo is keen on a return to Europe, where he maintains a strong market presence. Previously, Benfica sold him to Al Hilal for 40 million euros in September 2024. His contract with the Saudi club is valid until 2029, and his market value is currently estimated at €18 million by Transfermarkt.
