Leonardo "Léo" César Jardim (born 20 March 1995) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Vasco da Gama.

Club career

[edit]

On 13 July 2019, Jardim joined Ligue 1 club Lille on a five-year contract.[1] Jardim made his club debut on 2 October 2019 in Lille's 2–1 home defeat to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League group stage.[2][3] He made a further three appearances for Lille that season, all coming in the Coupe de la Ligue where the club was eliminated by Lyon on penalties in the semi-finals.[4]

On 1 September 2020, Jardim joined Portuguese side Boavista on loan for the 2020–21 season.[5]

Following Mike Maignan's exit to Milan in July 2021, Jardim was elevated to Lille's first choice goalkeeper.[6] On 1 August 2021, Jardim kept a clean sheet for Lille in their 1–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophée des Champions.[7] He made his Ligue 1 debut for the club in a 3–3 draw with Metz on 8 August,[8] followed by a 4–0 defeat against Nice.[9] Such negative results left Léo on the bench for 21 matches. The Brazilian only played again, in the League, against Montpellier, in his team's 1-0 victory.[10] This would be the first of 7 consecutive clean sheets that the Brazilian would make in that League season. Finishing the season as first choice goalkeeper, Léo helped his team gain 10th place in the table.[11]

At the end of the season, Léo Jardim, in 20 games, conceded 24 goals and had 9 clean sheets.

International career

[edit]

On 11 March 2024, Jardim was called up for the Brazil national football team for the first time for the March friendlies against England and Spain as a replacement for Ederson, who was struck out on injury.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Born in Brazil, Léo Jardim holds both Brazilian and Italian nationality.[13]

Jardim has been married since 2017 to Carol Picolli. The couple has a son and a daughter.[14]
