Cape Verde-Portugal right winger Leandro Andrade of Qarabağ is being linked with a move to Ukrainian Premier Liga side Polissya, with the Azerbaijan champions facing the prospect of losing a player valued at €3.50m.
The 26-year-old, born in Tavira on 24 September 1999, is currently under contract at Qarabağ, but his deal has no publicly listed expiry date, fuelling speculation he could yet move on in a cut-price deal or even as a future free agent if no extension is agreed. Transfermarkt lists the probability of the transfer only as “?”, underlining how early the talks appear to be.
Andrade, who holds both Cape Verdean and Portuguese nationality, has established himself as a right‑sided attacker for Qarabağ, typically operating as an attacking right winger and favouring his right foot. Wearing the No 15 shirt, the 1.76m wide man has become a familiar figure in the Premyer Liqa and European qualifiers, with his direct running and one‑v‑one ability drawing interest from emerging clubs on the continent.
His most recent outings for Qarabağ in Azerbaijan’s Premyer Liqa have kept him in the shop window, though there is no indication yet of advanced negotiations with Polissya or a formal bid matching his €3.50m market valuation. No fee, contract terms or prospective length of deal have been disclosed, and there is no suggestion that Qarabağ have sanctioned a sale.
Andrade’s dual-national profile and experience in a dominant side in Azerbaijan make him an attractive option for Polissya as they look to strengthen in attack. If a move to Ukraine does materialise, it could mark the next step in his career trajectory and offer a new platform to enhance his reputation in a more competitive Eastern European market.
