As the player is scheduled to come shortly for a medical examination, Manchester United is almost ready to have completed their first signing of the month of January under the leadership of Amorim. TODAY – Fans of Manchester United, congratulations!
Diego Leon, the agent of the wonderkid from Cerro Porteño, has publicly revealed that the defender is scheduled to have his medical examination at Manchester United in the very near future.
The fact that United was interested in Leon was publicly disclosed for the first time in December 2024, and the club moved quickly to secure his services in order to get ahead of other interested parties in Europe.
After that, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano communicated that United had reached a mutual agreement with Cerro Porteño over the transfer fee for Leon’s transfer to Old Trafford.
Additionally, Romano communicated that all of the necessary documentation had been signed and finished. Due to the fact that Leon will not turn 18 until April, he will not formally join the Red Devils until the summer.
Now, it has come to light that Leon is going to travel to England in order to have his United medical examination.
As stated by journalist Bruno Pont, who wrote on X, “Speaking to Renato Bittar, he confirmed that in the next few days he and Diego León will travel to Manchester, where the player will undergo medical tests.” in other words, the player will be taken to Manchester for medical examinations.
As soon as the club makes the announcement of his arrival, Leon will make history by becoming the first Paraguayan to ever play for the English club that has won the championship twenty times.
In the month of August, the young player, who was just 17 years old at the time, made his debut in the Paraguayan top-flight for Cerro Porteño. He distinguished himself as a regular member of the first team in a short amount of time.
In addition to being a technical master, the left-back possesses an age-appropriate body that is quite remarkable. In forward positions, he poses a significant threat, and he is largely considered to be among the most promising possibilities now emerging from South American institutions.
Moreover, he is lightning-fast and possesses a great deal of capability in duels and challenges.
The recruitment of Leon is in line with the transfer strategy that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have devised, which is to bring in young, talented, and eager kids who have the potential to develop into world-class superstars.
In the meanwhile, Manchester United will return to action on Sunday when they come up against their fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield.
