Career

Léo began his career at Fluminense FC. He was first integrated into the first team towards the end of the 2013 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, remaining an unused substitute in three matches starting with a 1–1 draw against AA Ponte Preta at the Maracanã Stadium on 19 October.

He made his professional debut in the same tournament two years later, playing the full 90 minutes as the team lost 1–0 at Sport Club do Recife on 13 September 2015; after the game, he and Marcos Júnior were castigated by fans who said "You need to bleed for the team...brother this ain't no Vasco".^[1] He totalled six appearances for the Flu, all but one as a starter.

On 31 January 2016, he made his debut in the Campeonato Carioca, starting in a 3–1 loss at Volta Redonda Futebol Clube in the first game of the season. On 17 February, he was awarded a new contract until the end of 2019.^[2]
