According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United has reached an agreement to buy Diego Leon, a 17-year-old fullback from Paraguay, although the young player won’t start until the summer of next year. Leon is a gifted defender who has apparently drawn interest from other top European clubs. United’s interest in him was originally made public in November, with technical director Jason Wilcox spearheading discussions for the player.

Leon was eager to join the Red Devils before any possible competitors, thus a $6 million contract was swiftly reached. Tweet: “Diego León has completed all the necessary paperwork to join Manchester United in 2025.” There are agreements in place for the 17-year-old left defender to join Man United when he turns 18 in July 2025. Giuseppe Antonaccio, the lead scout for South America, advocated for León as a talent, and Jason Wilcox clinched the deal. With a $4 million set cost, $1 million in easy add-ons, and $2/3k in extremely difficult add-ons, the Paraguayan LB enters from Cerro Porteno. This is proven.

The starlet will soon be visiting Carrington and Old Trafford to get to know his new home, according to Romano. The deal is likely to be the first of the Ruben Amorim era and is consistent with Ineos’ strategy of acquiring the top young players in the globe from the start. Luke Shaw has been plagued by injury problems, making left back a troublesome position for United.

The only natural left back on the team presently is Tyrell Malacia, and Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, and Noussair Mazraoui have all had to fill in for Shaw. It is unclear if United plans to make Leon a member of the first team right away or if he will spend time in the academy or on loan. In 19 appearances this season, Leon has scored two goals in the Paraguayan Premier League.
