Marcos Leonardo to Atlético: Transfer Stalled

The last hours of the market are going to be hectic in the Atlético offices. One of the names that was mentioned to reinforce the red and white forward line was the Brazilian from Al Hilal, Marcos Leonardo. Finally it seems that the operation for the arrival of the former Santos and Benfica player could be stopped.

The Brazilian striker would thus see Atlético’s door closed. A possibility that we already announced today in MARCA. The transfer of Marcos Leonardo could be stopped if any of the operations that Atlético has open could come to fruition. Waiting to see how the last hours of the mattress market evolve, what it seems is that the arrival of the Brazilian forward is almost definitively cooling off.

As we recalled at MARCA, the arrival of the Brazilian was not confirmed and we would have to wait for the evolution of a very open market in the Metropolitano offices. Atlético’s agreement with the Arab club and with the footballer himself could ultimately come to nothing. Marcos Leonardo’s option, which was worked on starting Friday due to the difficulty of finding a way, would thus be stopped.
