Real Madrid have signed Castellon winger Jeremy de Leon.

De Leon, 19, has closed his signing with Real and will initially join Castilla. He has signed a deal to 2026.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the winger's contract was to expire on June 30 and he chose Real Madrid and to play for the reserve team, rather than making the jump to the Primera Division.

Valencia and Villarreal had asked about the player, but as Relevo states, the Los Merengue club accelerated his signing a few weeks ago and the player's desire has been key: he wanted to play for Madrid.

With the signing of De Len, he becomes the second Puerto Rican to wear the Real Madrid shirt after Eduardo Ordez in 1926/1927.
