There have been some talks regarding the future of Diego Leon at Manchester United as the Paraguayan talented left-back is preparing for a new life in Manchester.
In December 2024, Manchester United reached an agreement with Cerro Porteno for an Initial fee of $4 million plus $1 million easy add-ons and over $3.5 million based on players’ or team future performances.
After the agreement in December last year, the plan was for Diego Leon to arrive at the club in July ahead of pre-season for the new season under Ruben Amorim, and as expected, Leon traveled to England on the 1st of July to complete his move.
Diego Leon has already passed his Manchester United medical last year, meeting the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Lisandro Martinez at Carrington at that time.
Recent reports have claimed that Diego Leon is expected to be loaned out by Manchester United this summer, while other news outlets claimed that he will start with the academy like Sekou Kone.
Will Diego Leon leave Manchester United on loan?
At the moment, Manchester United has not made any decision regarding the future of Diego Leon. Ruben Amorim and his staff will asses the 18-year-old left-back before making any decision.
The expectation is that Diego Leon will be given a chance during the friendly games in pre-season. He could end up staying around the first team next season and provide competition for Patrick Dorgu.
“Everyone thinks I’ll go out on loan, but I don’t have that mentality. I’m going to tear it up in pre-season, and in one or two games, I’ll be playing with them”, Diego Leon told Cuevasmat at the airport as he boarded his flight to Manchester.
“I have a lot of confidence in myself. I’m going to be at the top with them. Now, with the faith intact that I can succeed. I’m very happy, every player dreams of this.” Diego Leon said about joining Manchester United.
