    The 26-year-old centre back has been a key figure for Union Berlin in the Bundesliga, making 30 league appearances this season, scoring once and contributing two assists.

    Leite's consistent performances have not gone unnoticed. After impressing this summer, several top-flight English and Italian clubs are reportedly monitoring his situation closely.

    AC Milan and RB Leipzig attempted to secure his services last summer, but their bids were ultimately unsuccessful. Now, with Union Berlin likely to consider offers, a renewed round of interest is building ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

    Union Berlin valued the former FC Porto defender at 18 million euros last year, and a similar bid may be required to prise him away this time around.

    With his contract situation favourable for negotiation and his current form attracting fresh suitors, a move looks increasingly probable.

    A product of Porto's youth system, Leite has grown into a composed and reliable presence at the heart of Union Berlin's defence.

    His blend of aerial ability, tactical awareness, and comfort on the ball makes him an attractive option for clubs seeking a dependable defensive addition.
