Earlier, the “Red Devils” signed a contract first with Diego Leon in January, but due to the law of registration of foreign players competing if they were not 18 years old, he continued to play the last two seasons at Cerro Porteno.
Diego Leon, born on April 3, 2007 at Colonia Yguazu. He impressed when he debuted with the first team Cerro Porteno in August 2024, with the first match. Leon has a total of 33 matches for the first team, contributing 4 goals.

In terms of transfer details, the initial fixed fee was published about £ 3.3 million, along with the secondary terms that could push the price up to 7 million pounds. The contract signed in December 2024 has a 5 -year term, with an additional option for an additional one year, and officially takes effect from July 1, 2025.
Leon's play style is considered rough but potential. The speed, endurance, the ability to climb and cross the ball are good, suitable for the position of the border defender that coach Ruben Amorim is applying. However, the skills to control the ball and make decisions still need to be honed.
This is MU's strategic step under Ineos, prioritizing recruiting young talents and avoiding repeating mistakes in the recent expensive deals.
The fans, through Leon's airport interviews, were also very excited about the progressive spirit: “I will shine in the pre -season stage … I have no intention of going on the form of loan.”
