Future Star: Manchester United Agrees to Sign 17-Year-Old Paraguayan Defender
Manchester United has reached a verbal agreement to sign 17-year-old Paraguayan defender Diego Leon from Club Cerro Porteño, according to reports.
Leon, who has impressed with his performances as a left-back, has already made 11 appearances this season and contributed two goals to his team’s success in Paraguay’s First Division.
His dynamic playing style, combining athleticism and technical ability, has caught the eye of top European clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester City, but United is reportedly keen to secure his services first.
This move aligns with the club’s ongoing efforts under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos initiative to invest in youth development.
