Leonardo de Almeida Silva (born 18 January 2003), better known as Léo Silva, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for São Paulo.

Career

[edit]

Formed in the youth categories of São Paulo FC, Léo Silva stood out for his performance in the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Jr. He made his professional debut on 25 May 2022, in a match against Ayacucho in the 2022 Copa Sudamericana. Originally a defensive midfielder very mobile, Léo Silva played as right back in this match.[1][2]

Without receiving many opportunities in the professional squad, in April 2023 he was loaned to CRB, where he played on three occasions in the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.[3] In December, he had a loan confirmed again, this time to Volta Redonda.[4]
