The potential arrival of Leonardo is aimed at boosting the attacking prowess of the Spurs, who have faced significant struggles up front this season. However, Al Hilal are demanding at least €50 million for their forward—a price Tottenham are well capable of meeting. For his part, the player is open to the move, but Marcos’ final decision will depend on whether Tottenham retain their Premier League status for next season.

Marcos Leonardo joined Al Hilal in September 2024 from Benfica for €40 million. This season, the Brazilian striker has featured in 29 matches for the club, netting 15 goals and providing 1 assist.

Leonardo’s current market value is estimated at €20 million by Transfermarkt.
