Club career

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 Primeira Liga side Boavista on loan for the 2020–21 season.[5]

Following Mike Maignan's exit to A.C. 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.[citation needed] 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.[9] This would be the first of seven 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.[10]

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

International career

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.[11]

Personal life

Born in Brazil, Léo Jardim holds both Brazilian and Italian nationality.[12]

Jardim has been married since 2017 to Carol Picolli. The couple has a son and a daughter.[13]
