Marcos Leonardo is pushing to join Roma as soon as possible.

The Brazilian forward has made it clear to Santos that his priority is to move to the Italian capital at all costs within the next few days.

Santos, on the other hand, continue to stall in their talks with Roma who submitted a satisfactory offer almost a week ago.

According to Brazilian news portal Globo Esporte, Marcos Leonardo has decided to not train with Santos anymore until his request is met and therefore his move to Roma is complete.

The player is said to be emotionally strained by the way Santos are handling his transfer request.
