We report the discovery of J0121+0025, an extremely luminous and young star-forming galaxy (M-UV = -24.11, log[L-Ly alpha/erg s(-1)] = 43.8) at z = 3.244 showing copious Lyman continuum (LyC) leakage (f(esc, abs) approximate to 40 per cent). High signalto-noise ratio rest-frame UV spectroscopy with the Gran Telescopio Canarias reveals a high significance (7.9 sigma) emission below the Lyman limit (
