According to the Shanghai Observer News, Shanghai Port is interested in signing former CSL Golden Boot winner Leonardo, and the top scorer from Shandong is expected to form a "Golden Boot Duo" with Wu Lei.
Leonardo is no stranger to CSL fans, having played for several teams in the league. He is familiar with the local customs and understands the playing style here, which means that if he joins Shanghai Port, he will quickly integrate into the team. It's like a traveler returning home after a long journey, able to quickly adapt and play his part.
It is understood that Leonardo has shown a strong interest in joining Shanghai Port. This undoubtedly adds fuel to the potential transfer. Once Leonardo successfully joins, the attacking power of Shanghai Port will be greatly enhanced. The team will have the 2024 season's CSL Golden Boot winner Wu Lei, Silver Boot winner Leonardo, and Bronze Boot winner Gustavo, perfectly filling the void left by Oscar and Bargas' departure! The combination of these three players on the front line is bound to be powerful.
Leonardo (Leonardo), born on May 28, 1997 in Sorocaba, Brazil, was trained at Santos Club. In 2018, Leonardo transferred to join the Japanese J League. He was the top scorer in the J3 League and J2 League. On February 22, 2021, he joined the Chinese Super League's Shandong Taishan team!
However, Leonardo did not gain trust at Taishan and was often loaned out to Ulsan Hyundai, Changchun Yatai, and Zhejiang, where he won the K League championship, the CSL Golden Boot, and the CSL Silver Boot, demonstrating his strong abilities. Judging from the data, Leonardo is undoubtedly the top scorer for Shandong Taishan!
With Zhejiang pursuing Zivzivadze from the German second division without buying out the Golden Boot, Shanghai Port quickly acted, with reports that Sun Xiang from the Port personally visited Shandong Taishan. Considering that Taishan has Crescencio, Vako, and Zeke as their "trident," as well as the fact that the team is reducing investment for the new season and Cui Kangxi's use of personnel, both sides are expected to reach an agreement, and Leonardo will officially bid farewell to Shandong Taishan!
