Club career

[edit]

Leonardo was born in Vila Velha, Brazil.

On July 30, 2009, Leonardo signed a five-year contract with AEK Athens. On August 20, Leonardo made his official debut for AEK, in the game versus Vaslui in the Europa League.[2] Leonardo made his league debut in the 1–0 away win over Atromitos on August 30.[3] He scored his first goal for AEK on December 6, against Panionios.

In the Greek playoffs home 4–2 win against Aris, Leonardo came in as a substitute in the 51st minute and scored twice. AEK's next fixture was facing Aris again, held in Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium. The score was 1–0 against AEK, and Leonardo (who had also come in as a substitute that match) made the score 1–1 and equalized in injury time, giving AEK an invaluable point. In the 2011–12 season, he played in 26 matches scoring 9 goals, and was the club top scorer in the league.
