With that excellent performance, the 20-year-old striker received attention from many big teams.
Besides Man Utd, recently according to sources from UOL, Newcastle United has also begun to make moves to approach Leonardo. The home team at St James’ Park needs to upgrade the quality of their strikers to compete for titles in all competitions.
