Jeremy De Leon is set to become the second ever Puerto Rican Real Madrid player, once he completes his transfer to Castilla. The 19-year-old will make the move from Castellon and chose Madrid over a number of other LaLiga clubs, who also showed interest in signing him.

He has agreed to a contract until June 2026 with Los Blancos and will play in the Segunda Division B. The winger will replace Peter Federico in the Castilla squad, who is expected to leave in the coming weeks.

The first-ever player to feature for Los Merengues was Eduardo Ordóñez, who played for the club between 1926 and 1927, almost a century ago. And now, De Leon will become only the second to have ever worn the famous white shirt.

Jeremy De Leon has been scouted as an extremely fast wide player, who can also outmuscle defenders. He has made 14 appearances for the team this season, registering one assist.

Castellon had offered him a new deal, and didn’t want to let him go. But, after De Leon rejected the offer, the club was forced to agree a deal with Real Madrid. The Castilla wants to achieve successive promotions for the first time in their history, which will see them play in the Segunda Division – the second tier of Spain.
