Generational Super Star’ linked with Newcastle just Ended His chance of a move

Newcastle United, who has been without a striker for several games this season, need to be looking to add extra firepower during the January transfer window.

Given how prone to injuries Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak are, Newcastle needs a third striker. This season, we’ve already had to play games without a recognized striker; adding a second center-forward will help to ensure that doesn’t happen again.

Newcastle is said to have had a strong interest in Santos attacker Marcos Leonardo.

Leonardo is already being compared to some very talented people.

The 20-year-old striker, who has drawn comparisons to Neymar and Sergio Aguero, has been drawing a lot of interest from the Premier League. It was thought that a deal of around £22 million would be sufficient to lure the player to England.

But after his behavior and attitude were questioned, Newcastle’s interest may have come to an end due to recent reports from Brazil.

According to a story from UOL in Brazil, Leonardo complained about not being selected for a forthcoming game on a recent away trip, arrived late to training, yelled at his teammates, and appeared inebriated.

Before the excursion, coach Marcelo Fernandes gave the players permission to eat lunch outside the CT King Pele. When Marcos Leonardo and Jean Lucas returned to the location, their demeanor had changed by around 20 minutes. According to reports from four witnesses who consented to speak to the article under anonymity, the forward-thinking center behaved as though it was intoxicated.

No matter how skilled you are, if the rumors are accurate, that kind of behavior will get you removed off Newcastle’s shopping list.
The reason Eddie Howe’s Newcastle are so successful is that every player follows his method and always puts the team’s needs ahead of their own. Any player who enters the game with a grudge or who prioritizes their own interests over the group will be demoted to the reserves, a la Ryan Fraser.

Leonardo is just 20 years old, so he still has a lot to learn. However, Howe may think he can improve on his attitude and bring out the best in him; after all, Anthony Gordon quickly corrected Howe’s mistakes.

But for us, this one was already in the “doubtful” category, and this puts it closer to the “never gonna happen” category.
