Pedro León
Pedro León Sánchez Gil (; born 24 November 1986), known as León, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Real Murcia. After making a name for himself at Valladolid and Getafe, he transferred to Real Madrid in 2010. He left after a sole season troubled by problems with the management, going on to represent Getafe and Eibar also in La Liga and make 346 appearances in the competition (43 goals scored). A Spain under-21 international, León represented the nation at the 2009 European Championship. Club career Murcia Born in Mula, Region of Murcia, León began playing with local Muleño CF and Nueva Vanguardia's youth teams, eventually moving in early 2004 to Real Murcia to finish his youth career. After a spell with the B team, he made his official debut with the main squad on 15 January 2005, in a Segunda División 5–1 loss away loss against UE Lleida, going on to play a further six matches during the season and scoring in a 3–1 win at neighbouring Ciudad de Murcia. The following two seasons, León became an integral player for Murcia, netting seven goals in the 2006–07 campaign, several from free kicks, as the side returned to La Liga after a three-year absence. In January 2007, he was rumoured to be moving to Real Madrid or Chelsea, being speculated that the latter would buy him for £3.4 million. Levante Despite all transfer rumours, León joined modest Levante UD in the 2007 summer for £2.5 million after rejecting an offer from to renew his contract for €1 million, in a move the club found quite offensive. He often underachieved in 2007–08, starting only 11 times from 24 appearances as Levante returned to the second tier. He also ended up training alone, due to problems with management and teammates alike. Valladolid On 13 September 2008, Real Valladolid bought León for €300,000 after a quick negotiation. Soon becoming first choice, he provided his first assist for Fabián Canobbio on 15 November in a 1–0 home victory over Real Madrid, netting his first for the club a week later in a 3–0 away defeat of Villarreal CF. Getafe After lengthy negotiations with Getafe CF, with the player appearing very rarely for Valladolid in pre-season, a five-year contract worth around €4 million was finally arranged in August 2009. León scored nine goals in all competitions during the season (eight in the league, with nine assists), as the Madrilenians finished sixth and qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the second time in their history. Real Madrid On 15 July 2010, Real Madrid confirmed the transfer of León for €10 million. The player passed the pertinent medical test and was presented the following day. He made his debut on 4 August in a friendly with Club América, playing the full match in a 3–2 win. In his second appearance, four days later, he scored against the LA Galaxy as the match ended with the same score. León scored his first
