Arsenal pursue Marcos Leonardo: Summer transfer target
Arsenal’s pursuit of Benfica’s Marcos Leonardo heats up as summer transfer window approaches. Despite missing out on the Brazilian striker in January, the Gunners are keen to reignite their interest and secure his signature for a reasonable price.
Reports suggest that Arsenal have been closely monitoring Leonardo’s performances at Benfica, with the 21-year-old impressing since his move to Europe.
Although the Gunners were cautious in the January window due to financial concerns, they are now ready to make a move for the talented forward.
Edu Gaspar, Arsenal’s sporting director, is familiar with Leonardo and is keen to add him to Mikel Arteta’s squad. However, negotiations with Benfica could prove challenging, as the Portuguese club is known for driving a hard bargain.
Despite Leonardo not being their top priority target, Arsenal are still interested in acquiring his services. The emergence of other targets like Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres has provided alternatives for the Gunners, but Leonardo remains a key target for the club.
With conflicting reports surrounding Sesko’s release clause, Arsenal may need to navigate a complex transfer market to secure their preferred signings.
However, Leonardo’s potential and versatility make him an attractive option for Arteta’s side as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
