Beoogd Ajax-aanwinst ignites Luis Suárez nostalgia in Amsterdam

Beoogd Ajax-aanwinst Marcos Leonardo is poised to leave Al-Hilal for Ajax for €19 million, reviving Luis Suárez' Oude memories in Amsterdam'. The Braziliaanse striker is expected to arrive very soon, according to the latest reports.

Leonardo, a Braziliaanse forward, attracted Liverpool's interest a few years ago, and in Engeland he was compared to Luis Suárez. The De column noted that the comparison focused on his goal‑scoring instincts.

The €19 million fee, reported by VoetbalPrimeur, would see the player move from Al-Hilal to Ajax this summer. Ajax are preparing to integrate the Braziliaanse attacker into their attacking line‑up.

In VP's Transferwindow, the column of VoetbalPrimeur, the Braziliaanse "goaltjesdief" is examined in depth. "He is also not the biggest and really a goal thief. Suárez is still much more a messer, who can still do something from dribbling," the analysis reads. The piece highlights Leonardo's knack for finding the net.

If the transfer materialises, Ajax could add a proven scorer to replace recent departures, while Leonardo would chase the legacy of the former Uruguayan star in the Dutch capital. The move underscores Ajax's strategy of sourcing South American talent to stay competitive in Europe.
