Manchester United officially announced the signing of 18-year-old Paraguayan full-back Diego Leon for a total price of up to £7 million

July 6th news, Premier League giants "Red Devils" Manchester United officially announced today that the club has signed 18-year-old full-back Diego Leon from Paraguay, and said that the young international will officially join after completing the relevant registration procedures.


According to previous reports by British media, the total price of this transfer transaction can be as high as 7 million pounds, including fixed fees and floating bonus clauses. Leon originally played for the traditional Paraguayan team Cerro Porteno. At the age of 18, he has played 33 times for the adult team and contributed 4 goals. His performance is quite impressive and he can be regarded as a rising star in South American football in recent years.

 

Manchester United wrote in an announcement on its official website: " Manchester United Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of exciting young defender Diego Leon, pending completion of registration formalities. "

Manchester United revealed that Leon will receive support from both the first team and the youth academy in the early stages of adapting to life in England, which means that although he joins as a future star, he still has the opportunity to participate in first-team training and even play as soon as possible.

Leon just turned 18 in April 2024 , but he has already accumulated rich first-team experience. He is responsible for both attacking and defending tasks, has excellent advancement and crossing abilities on the wing, and has good confrontation ability. He is a modern full-back with both offensive and defensive capabilities. He has also represented the Paraguayan U20 national team and gradually emerged on the international stage.

Joining Manchester United is also an important step in his career. It is reported that he has attracted the attention of many European clubs in the past few months, but finally chose to join the Red Devils, which shows that Manchester United's youth training and young players' growth mechanism are still attractive.

In the past few transfer windows, Manchester United management has gradually shifted its strategy to introduce young and promising new stars in order to achieve long-term reconstruction. This deal is also highly consistent with the club's youth training development strategy.

With the joining of Diego Leon, Manchester United has further strengthened its reserves at the full-back position, paving the way for a more dynamic and deep lineup in the coming years. Fans also expect this Paraguayan genius to show his talent on the Old Trafford stage as soon as possible and become the backbone of Manchester United's future defense.
