León land surprise signing for Leagues Cup

After an irregular start to the 2025 Epertura with only three points of nine, León is already in the United States to participate in the League Cup.

Their beginnings will take place this Tuesday, July 29 against Montreal FC at 5:00 p.m. at the Saputo stadium.

Before the match, the Fiera received a surprise: Nicolás Fonseca joined the team after his transfer to Valence fell.

“The operation has dropped due to financial fair problems,” reported journalist César Luis Merlo reported.

According to narrow sources, the Spanish club asked for “10 more days” to close another signature before hiring the Uruguayan, but León decided not to wait.

Thus, the midfielder will remain in the emerald team for the moment.

Fonseca, who arrived in January, will join the team led by Eduardo Berizzo in the coming hours.

We still don’t know if he will be available to play against the Canadian team during his debut in tournaments.
