Youth career

edit

Goalkeeper revealed by Amparo Athlético Club, Leandro was hired for São Paulo's youth sectors in 2019. He has a great ability to take free kicks, having scored a goal against Penapolense in the 2022 Campeonato Paulista Sub-20 (U-20), which generates comparisons with the historic player Rogério Ceni.[1] He played in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Jr. in two editions, in 2023 in one match, and in 2024 during the entire campaign.[2][3]

Professional career

edit

He was listed as a substitute goalkeeper in some matches during the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and currently trains occasionally as the professional squad fourth goalkeeper.[4]
