Manchester United are “very close” to finalizing a deal for the left-back.
After being defeated by a fierce Nottingham Forest last Saturday the Red Devils Sporting director Dan Ashworth left the clubduring a tumultuous weekend at Old Trafford. However, plans for the January transfer window have not changed.
Since a new director is not expected to take over Ashworth’s position, Manchester United they are continuing their business and will be looking to sign a young left-back soon.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim needs a new left-back and his current options are underwhelming
Amorim has plenty of makeshift options to play on the left wing, but he doesn’t have any natural fit for the role.
Tyrell Malacia and Diogo Dalot are two candidates, with Antony also touted for the role. Luke Shaw seems to be more of a central defender in this formation, as is Noussair Mazraoui, who is more suited to the right side.
This left United chasing Cerro Porteno teenager Diego Leon, accompanied by a journalist Uriel Jugt writing post on X (formerly Twitter) that the contract is advanced.
Interestingly, Iugta’s $5 million figure is higher than the $4 million figure previously reported by the Paraguayan outlet Sportwho confirmed this story.
Leon is only 17 years old, but he is highly rated and considered a person for the future. The wonderkid will not be eligible to play for the club until he turns 18, suggesting that this may be a development step for the under-21 players rather than a move into the first team.
IN FourFourTwo However, according to Leon, he could be brought in with the intention of playing for the Amorim team next season. The Portuguese has developed some young talents and Geovany Quenda, another winger, is a fantastic example of a teenage star who was given a chance from an early age.
Quenda, which ranks 39th in the ranking FourFourTwo list of the most exciting teens to watch this seasonwas linked with a transfer to the Red Devils play on the opposite wing to Leon.
According to him, Leon is worth only €1 million Transfer market. United takes over Manchester City this weekend in the Manchester Derby when Premier League action resumes.
