Player Info

Léo Duarte, the versatile Brazilian defender currently with Başakşehir Futbol Kulübü, is a reliable and physically imposing presence in the heart of defense. His professional journey started at Cruzeiro, where he developed through the academy before making his senior breakthrough. His solid performances in Brazil's top flight attracted the attention of AC Milan, who signed him in 2019. At Milan, Duarte gained valuable experience in one of Europe's most demanding leagues, though injuries limited his consistent run in the team. Seeking regular playing time, he moved to İstanbul Başakşehir in Turkey, where he has re-established himself as a dependable central defender, also capable of filling in at right-back when needed. His career honors include winning the Campeonato Mineiro with Cruzeiro. Standing at 183cm, Duarte is strong in aerial duels and possesses good pace for a center-back, allowing him to recover effectively. His style is characterized by calmness under pressure and an ability to play out from the back, traits honed during his time in Italy. Now a key figure for Başakşehir, he brings top-level experience and defensive stability to the Turkish Süper Lig.
