De Leon and his family eventually relocated to Spain to further his football career. The youngster eventually joined CD Castellón’s youth team during the winter of 2021-2022.
He scored an impressive twenty-three goals in thirteen games and was the U19 league’s leading scorer. Following his impressive performances, he gained interest from top clubs like Barcelona, Almería, Sevilla, Real Betis, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid during the spring of 2022.

Jeremy de Leon playing style
Leon mainly plays as a forward on the wings. He is a free-floating speedster with lightning pace and great agility and reaction. The youngster usually creates gaps and openings with his quick, off-the-ball movements to dominate opponents. So far this season, he had not had much goal contributions as he has provided just one assist across 11 league appearances. With players like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Real Madrid currently have one of the most lethal wing attacks and De Leon’s arrival further adds to that list.
