Diego Leon has officially joined Manchester United from Cerro Porteno for an initial fee of £3.3m, which could rise to £7m. The transfer was agreed in January, but Leon could not move until he turned 18 in April. He has 33 senior appearances for Cerro Porteno and has represented Paraguay's under-20 side nine times. Leon will likely play for United's under-21 team, pending the potential exit of Tyrell Malacia. This transfer is United's second signing this window, following Matheus Cunha's acquisition.
Manchester United have confirmed the arrival of teenage defender Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno, for an initial fee of £3.3m that could rise to £7m.
The left-back, who has appeared for Paraguay's under-20 side on nine occasions, made 33 senior appearances for the 34-time Paraguayan champions.
Leon is expected to represent United's under-21 team, while his potential inclusion in the first team will depend on Tyrell Malacia's exit.
