In an official announcement on the homepage, Man United confirmed: "Diego Leon has signed a long-term contract with the club. He will begin the integration process through both the first team and the academy team."
The announcement shows that Man United is not simply bringing in a young player as a "reserve", but is preparing for an important part of the future squad.
Previously, the "Red Devils" signed a contract with this player in January, but due to the Law on Registration of Foreign Players to Play if they are under 18 years old, this player continued to play the second phase of the last season at Cerro Porteno and has now officially tied the knot with MU.
Leon is only 18 years old and is considered one of Paraguay’s most promising talents. His pace, stamina, ability to climb the wing and cross the ball well are suitable for the wing-back position that coach Ruben Amorim is using. However, his ball control and decision-making skills still need to be honed.
He was promoted to the first team by Cerro Porteno Club early and made 14 appearances in the National Championship, contributing significantly to helping his home team win the runner-up position. On the international stage, Leon also played for Paraguay U20 in 9 matches and scored 1 goal.
In fact, this deal was settled by Man United in January. Now, Leon has officially signed a 5-year contract with an option to extend for another year, and officially takes effect from July 1, 2025.
In terms of transfer details, the initial fixed fee was announced to be around £3.3m, with add-ons potentially pushing the figure up to £7m.
Joining Old Trafford, Leon will enter a difficult competition on the left flank when coach Ruben Amorim already has notable young names such as Harry Amass or Patrick Dorgu and veteran Luke Shaw - if the former Southampton player stays.
