Leonardo 'Léo' Cittadini (born 27 February 1994) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Santos as a midfielder.

Club career

Guarani

Born in Rio Claro, São Paulo, Cittadini started his career at Guarani, and was promoted to first team in 2010, under the management of Vágner Mancini.[1] He made his first team debut on 30 March 2011, against Horizonte, for the season's Copa do Brasil.[2] He was handed a starting spot on 1 May, against São José, providing an assist for Léo Paraíba's goal.[3]

However, in December, Cittadini had altercations with his club, claiming late payment of wages.[4] In March 2012, half of the player's rights was sold to an agent, due to problems in the negotiation of a contract renewal.[5]

Santos

On 7 July 2012, he signed a two-year contract with Santos, being assigned to youth team.[6] There, he won the 2012 Campeonato Paulista U-20, beating São Paulo in the finals,[7] and also won the 2013 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[8]

On 3 June 2013, he was promoted to Santos' first team alongside Walace.[9] He made his debut on the 12th, replacing Pedro Castro in the 70th minute of a 1-0 home win against Atlético Mineiro.[10]

On 24 July 2013, Cittadini scored his first professional goal, the last of a 2–0 away win against CRAC for the season's Copa do Brasil.[11]

After his return from loan, Cittadini was not utilized by managers Enderson Moreira and Marcelo Fernandes. After the arrival of Dorival Júnior he returned to action, being converted to a defensive midfielder in the 2016 season; he also rejected a loan move to Chievo in the process.[12]

On 10 April 2016 Cittadini scored his first goal after his return, netting his team's first in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista home win against Audax.[13]

Ponte Preta (loan)

In April 2014 Cittadini joined Guarani's fierce rivals Ponte Preta on loan until the end of the season.[14] He made his debut for the club on the 19th, playing the entire second half in a 1–1 home draw against Icasa.

On 7 October Cittadini's loan was cancelled, and he subsequently returned to Santos.[15]
