Club career

AC Omonia

In January 2010 he signed a contract with Cypriot side AC Omonia. He broke into the first team very quickly and he soon became a key player. He also won the Championship with Omonoia. He scored at the Super Cup match to send the match to penalties and win another title with Omonia. At the end of the season Omonia won the Cup too with Leandro the hero for Omonia scoring at the extra time at semi-finals. For the 2011–2012 season he is named 3rd captain of Omonia for what he offered to the club, behind Constantinos Makrides and Christos Karipidis. During the 2011–2012 season, the Brazilian faced many injury problems and played poorly, resulting the raise of the issue of disengagement because of his injuries. Eventually, he stayed and participated in the preparation with no problems, and not only he won a position in the starting lineup but became captain of the team. Leandro became the leader of Omonia, and an example of consistency and professionalism.

Ferencváros

On 16 June 2020, he became champion with Ferencváros by beating Budapest Honvéd FC at the Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion on the 30th match day of the 2019–20 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season.[1]
