Highly-rated Paraguayan teenager Diego León has officially completed his move to Manchester United after successfully passing his medical. The 17-year-old sensation, who had agreed to join the Red Devils in mid-2024, has finally been able to travel to England to finalize the deal.
León, a versatile defender known for his athleticism and attacking instincts, has been linked with a host of top European clubs. However, it was Manchester United who won the race for his signature, seeing off competition from the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City.
The young Paraguayan's transfer had been delayed due to his commitments with the Paraguay U20 national team. However, with his international duties now complete, León was able to travel to Manchester to undergo a medical and put pen to paper on a long-term contract.
Manchester United have been monitoring León's progress for several years and believe that he has the potential to become one of the best young defenders in the world. The club views the signing as a long-term investment and sees León as a key part of their future plans.
León is a modern full-back who is comfortable both defending and attacking. He is known for his pace, strength, and excellent crossing ability. The Paraguayan is also a very good reader of the game and has a mature head on his young shoulders.
While León will not be able to join up with the first-team squad immediately, he is expected to be integrated into the club's academy. The young defender will have the opportunity to train with the senior players and learn from some of the best coaches in the world.
