Reports have indicated that Italian coach Simone Inzaghi has expressed his full commitment to keeping Brazilian striker Marcus Leonardo within the ranks of Al-Hilal during the current summer transfer window.

Inzaghi has categorically rejected the idea of parting ways with the player, emphasizing that he is a key element in his plans for the new season, possessing the capabilities to lead the team's front line.

The reports confirmed that the Italian coach views Leonardo as one of the cornerstones that cannot be relinquished at this stage, especially given the team's need for attacking stability.

Inzaghi's insistence on the Brazilian star came after the impressive performances he showcased during his recent participation in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.

Leonardo displayed remarkable brilliance in the tournament, which contributed to enhancing the coaching staff's confidence in him and led Inzaghi to decide to keep him on the main roster of Al-Hilal.
