Paulo Garcia, the agent of Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo from Al-Hilal, responded to the possibility of his client leaving the blue team following news of his name being removed from the local list.

Recent media reports indicated that Al-Hilal decided to register Leonardo only in the Asian list, excluding him from the local list due to exceeding the age limit for born players, as he has turned 22 years old.

Leonardo's agent denied, through the newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah", the rumors about the player's name being removed from the local list due to exceeding the legal age as a foreign player under the age limit.

Leonardo stated: "I don't know what you expect to hear from me; I am surprised by the news of Marcos Leonardo not being registered in the Saudi League."

He added: "We have done a lot for Al-Hilal and its vast fans, and I will await an official clarification from the club."

He continued: "If what is being circulated regarding the player being registered only in the Asian list is true, it would be disappointing for us."

Regarding offers from European or Brazilian clubs for the player, he said: "We currently have nothing; he is a player at Al-Hilal, happy here, and his heart is blue."
