Diego Leon has signed all documents to join Manchester United in 2025. Contracts in place for the 17-year-old left-back to become a Man United player from July 2025.
The deal was reportedly driven by technical director Jason Wilcox after South America scout Giuseppe Antonaccio strongly recommended the youngster. Leon will arrive from Cerro Porteno for a fixed fee of $4 million, with additional performance-related bonuses included in the agreement.
United view the teenager as one of South America’s brightest defensive prospects and believe he has the potential to become an important player in the future.
