Jeremy de Leon departs Real Madrid youth team for Sant Andreu

Forward Jeremy de Leon has officially left the Real Madrid youth setup, signing with Sant Andreu following a two-and-a-half-year stint at the club. The Puerto Rican player expressed his emotional connection to the team in a farewell message, acknowledging the difficulty of leaving a club he aimed to represent since childhood. His time at RM Castilla was hindered by recurring injuries, including surgeries on both shoulders, which limited him to one goal in 232 minutes of play. Despite the lack of on-field production, he gained recognition as a lucky charm for the squad during the team's 2023/24 Champions League campaign. His departure is part of a broader reduction of the youth team roster throughout the current summer.
