Leo Scienza, the 26-year-old Brazilian left winger currently plying his trade for FC Heidenheim in Germany’s Bundesliga, is reportedly on the radar of English Championship side, Southampton.
The Brazilian, who has a market value of €3.00m (approximately 22.3 million DKK), has been a standout player for Heidenheim this season, despite their struggles in the league where they currently sit in the 16th position.
Scienza has featured in 25 matches this season, finding the back of the net three times and providing four assists, demonstrating his ability to both score and create goals. His contract with Heidenheim is set to expire on June 30, 2027, which may make this transfer window a crucial one for both clubs involved.
Southampton, who are themselves in a precarious position in the Championship, sitting in 22nd place, could benefit from the attacking prowess of Scienza. At 175 cm and 69 kg, Scienza has shown he can compete physically in the Bundesliga, and it will be interesting to see how his style adapts to the English game.
The transfer window is currently open and will remain so until August 31, giving both clubs ample time to negotiate a possible transfer. As always, the final decision will likely come down to the player’s desire and the financial terms of the deal.
