Leonardo 'Léo' Bonatini Lohner Maia (born 28 March 1994) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Saudi Professional League club Al-Hilal, as a forward.
Club career
Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Bonatini joined Cruzeiro's youth setup in 2010, aged 16. In July 2012 he was loaned to Italian Serie A powerhouse Juventus for one season, with a buyout clause.[1]
Bonatini only appeared for the club's Primavera squad, and subsequently returned to Cruzeiro in the 2013 summer.[2] On 2 October 2013 he moved to Goiás, also in a temporary deal until the end of the year.[3]
Bonatini made his professional – and Série A – debut on 27 October, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 away win against Náutico.[4] He appeared in further five matches for Esmeraldino during the campaign, and had his loan contract renewed for a further year on 7 January 2014.[5]
On 5 August 2014 Bonatini's loan was cut short, due to the lack of opportunities in the main squad.[6] On 5 January of the following year he was loaned to Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia, until June.[7]
On 13 July 2015, Bonatini had 50% of his federative rights sold to Traffic Group, remaining at Estoril permanently. On 27 February 2016, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–0 home win against Vitória de Setúbal.
On 16 July 2016, Bonatini joined Saudi club Al-Hilal.[8]
