On the night of February 24th, the Chinese soccer world came to the heavy news: K-League powerhouse Ulsan Hyundai officially announced that Shandong Taishan's foreign striker Leonardo has officially transferred to Ulsan Hyundai, opening a new chapter in his career.
The Brazilian striker, who was born in 1997, kicked off his professional soccer career in China in Spring 2021 with blonde hair and excellent skills that attracted the attention of the Shan Taishan team. In that season, he played 8 games for the team and proved his worth with goals.
However, the journey of soccer is not always a smooth one. Last summer, Leonardo joined River Plate on a short-term rental, where he proved his mettle by showing excellent adaptability, appearing in 12 matches and collecting a goal and an assist.
According to the Korean media's early revelation, Leonardo's joining is realized in the form of a lease. This transfer of the Brazilian star will undoubtedly bring new vigor and tactical changes to Ulsan Hyundai.
