OFFICIAL: Manchester United Sign Paraguayan Defender Diego León! 🇵🇾🔥
Manchester United have officially announced the signing of highly-rated Paraguayan left-back Diego León from Cerro Porteño.
🗓️ The 18-year-old, born April 3, 2007, completed his move after turning 18 earlier this year. He had trained with United previously and impressed scouts with his maturity, athleticism, and attacking flair from the back.
💰 The transfer is believed to be worth £3.2 million upfront, with potential add-ons bringing the total to £7 million.
Diego León is known for his pace, technique, and attacking instincts — drawing early comparisons to legends like Marcelo. He played 26 league games and scored 3 goals for Cerro Porteño in 2024, showing strong promise for the future.
🔴 León will now join the Manchester United squad for pre-season and is expected to compete for a spot in the first team or possibly develop further with the U21s.
Welcome to Manchester United, Diego León! 💪🔥
