AEL Limassol confirms the transfer of Leo Natel to FC Ordabasy

On April 1, 2026, the Cypriot football club AEL Limassol officially announced the transfer of Brazilian forward Leo Natel to the Kazakh club FC Ordabasy. The move follows intense negotiations, with the final agreement reached at approximately 420,000 to 500,000 euros after an initial lower bid was rejected. The player expressed a strong personal desire to accept the professional offer, which led AEL to grant permission for his departure. During his tenure at AEL, Natel recorded 24 league appearances, scoring five goals and providing five assists. His departure is considered a significant sporting loss for the team, particularly ahead of the upcoming Cypriot Cup semi-final matches against Pafos FC on April 8 and April 22. In Kazakhstan, Natel will join his new teammate, Abagna, who is currently finalizing visa arrangements. AEL emphasized that the financial compensation reflects the player's quality and contribution during his time with the club.
