FC Porto academy centre-back close to joining Al Diriyah | OneFootball

Diogo Leite is about to leave Union Berlin, after four seasons in the Bundesliga, to sign for Al Diriyah, managed by Bruno Lage.

Fabrizio Romano reports that defender Diogo Leite is very close to joining Al Diriyah’s squad. The Saudi team is coached by Bruno Lage and wants to complete the signing of the Portuguese player in this transfer window.

The move to Asian football comes as a new experience in the player’s career, after the path he built in Germany’s top flight. The centre-back, a former FC Porto player, also represented Braga before heading to Germany to wear the Union Berlin shirt.

It is worth remembering that Diogo Leite came through the entire youth system at FC Porto. While at Union Berlin, the Portuguese centre-back made 136 official appearances, scored two goals, and provided three assists for his teammates.
