Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign 17-year-old fullback Diego Leon but the Paraguayan youngster will only join the ranks at Old Trafford next summer.
United’s interest in Leon was first revealed in November with technical director Jason Wilcox leading negotiations for the talented defender, who has reportedly attracted attention from other major clubs in Europe.
A deal was agreed quickly after worth $6 million, with the Red Devils keen to add Leon to their ranks ahead of any potential rivals.
And now Romano has revealed the 17-year-old has “signed all documents” required to make the move official, though United fans will have to wait until the summer before seeing the Paraguayan defender in action, as he only turns 18 in April.
