UD Almería has extended Leo Baptistao's contract for one more season, until the summer of 2027. The Spanish-Brazilian striker begins his fifth season with the club.

What happened?

Leo Baptistao joined UD Almería in 2022, when the Andalusian team was in the first division. After two seasons in the second division, the player has decided to renew his contract.

Why is it important for UD Almería?

The continuity of Leo Baptistao is added to the arrivals of Brian Cipenga, Jorge Pulido, Miguel de la Fuente, and Quim Junyent, as the first reinforcements of the new UD Almería led by Xavi García Pimienta.

What comes next?

The player born in Santos played 40 official matches last season, scoring ten decisive goals in several moments of the championship. His ability to play in different positions in the attack and his sacrifice without the ball make him a valuable piece for the team.

The Spanish-Brazilian returned to Spanish football in 2022 with UD Almería, coinciding with the team's promotion to the first division. He has consolidated a leading role within the team, both for his regular performance and his leadership on and off the field.
