Marcos Leonardo

Marcos Leonardo is exactly the kind of player you root for: a kid from Itapetinga, Bahia who came up through Santos — the same club that gave the world Pelé — and made that legacy feel relevant again. Watching him at Santos in the early 2020s, you could see right away he had that natural striker's instinct, the kind that can't really be coached. He was still a teenager and already leading the line with confidence. He went from Santos to Benfica and Al-Hilal and is now leading the line for Ajax, which is a lot of moving for someone so young. Still only 23, with his best years clearly ahead of him — I genuinely want to see what he does on the world stage.
