Career
[edit]Formed in the youth categories of São Paulo FC, Léo Silva stood out for his performance in the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Jr. He made his professional debut on 25 May 2022, in a match against Ayacucho in the 2022 Copa Sudamericana. Originally a defensive midfielder very mobile, Léo Silva played as right back in this match.[1][2]
