Scouting Report & Player Insights
Léo Duarte is a Brazilian centre-back at İstanbul Başakşehir, an aggressive, front-foot defender who came through at Flamengo before an injury-hit spell at AC Milan. He defends proactively, stepping out to challenge strikers early and competing hard in the air, though that eagerness can occasionally leave space behind. In Turkey he has settled into a solid Süper Lig starter's role, offering physicality and duel-winning rather than build-up polish.
Came through at Flamengo before moving to AC Milan in the summer of 2019; he left before Flamengo's Copa Libertadores and Brazilian Serie A triumphs later that year.
His time at AC Milan was disrupted by injuries and he made few appearances before leaving for Turkey.
Has spent several seasons at İstanbul Başakşehir, becoming a regular in their defence.
