Ajax have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Marcos Leonardo from Al-Hilal, adding a new attacking option before the new season. The 23-year-old arrives on a five-year contract as the Dutch club continues to reshape its squad.
The deal is reported to be worth a base fee of €17.5 million, with potential add-ons taking the total value to €25 million. That makes Marcos Leonardo one of Ajax’s notable summer investments as the club looks to strengthen its front line.
Leonardo joins after his time with Al-Hilal and gives Ajax a young striker with experience at a high level. His arrival suggests the club is focused on refreshing its attack and adding more depth and competition in forward areas.
For Ajax, the transfer underlines a clear intent to rebuild with long-term pieces already in place. With a five-year agreement secured, Marcos Leonardo is set to be part of the club’s plans well beyond the upcoming campaign.
