Original title: It was revealed that Urawa striker Leonardo joined Shandong Taishan with a transfer fee of 2.5 million US dollars
On February 17, according to football media sources, former Urawa Red Diamond striker Leonardo has joined Shandong Taishan with a transfer fee of 2.5 million US dollars.
Bai Guohua wrote: The dust has settled! Urawa Red Diamond player Leonardo officially joined the Shandong Taishan team. The 23-year-old Leonardo’s transfer is worth 2.5 million US dollars, and he will arrive in China in the near future.
In 2020, Urawa Red Diamonds spent 3.5 million U.S. dollars to include Leonardo under its umbrella, becoming the highest transfer fee for a domestic league in Japan in 2020, and ranked among the top ten historical transfer fees for a domestic league in Japan. But because Urawa did not qualify for the 2021 AFC Champions League, Leonardo was more willing to leave Urawa when Tarzan contacted him. At the same time, because of the epidemic, Urawa also wanted to sell it to improve his financial situation— -But what Leonardo didn’t expect was that after he decided to join Taishan, the Taishan team also lost the qualification to participate in this year’s AFC Champions League due to a lawsuit. But in any case, acquiring Leonardo for $2.5 million is a good deal for the Tarzan team.
Let’s take a look at some basic situations of Leonardo:
Born in May 1997. In 2018, the traditional Brazilian giant Santos FC transferred to the Japanese J3 League Tottori Flying. That year, he won the J3 top scorer with 24 goals and helped the team get the third highest ranking in team history. The following year, he moved to J2 Niigata Swan and again won the honor of top scorer with 28 goals. In 2020, he achieved a triple jump and transferred to the J1 Urawa Red Diamonds. He scored twice in Urawa’s first game and scored 13 goals in 30 games throughout the season.
Because of his young and outstanding performance year after year, the Japanese Football Association considered naturalizing him as a Japanese national to play for the Japanese national team and has been included in the list of naturalization key inspections.
In conclusion, Shandong Taishan’s actions in the transfer market this year show their ambitions. They are worth looking forward to in the new season.Return to Sohu to see more
