In order to play more often, he had to leave Leeds United. Sitting on the bench at a newly promoted Premier League club will not do him any favors.<\/p>\n<p>Monteiro will join Leeds in 2023.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diogo_Monteiro_shares_an_Instagram_post\"><\/span>Diogo Monteiro shares an Instagram post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Meanwhile, the defender left Leeds United without making his competitive debut for the club, but his love for the club is clear. The player was recently spotted wearing Los Blancos&#8217; 2025\/26 away shirt while playing padel during the international break, which will please Leeds supporters.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/monteiro.jpg.webp 414w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diogo Monteiro posted on his Instagram story.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although Monteiro was highly regarded during his time at Leeds Academy, he was never able to establish himself as a first-team player for Leeds Academy. He is very young and has plenty of time to fulfill his potential. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to secure a starting position at the current Portuguese club.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monteiro_aims_to_reach_his_full_potential\"><\/span>Monteiro aims to reach his full potential<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">He is undoubtedly one of Portugal&#8217;s most promising young defenders and if he can fulfill his potential next season, he will have a good chance of joining the big club again. For now, he should focus on his development and try to play regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds will hope they do not regret their decision to let the young defender leave the club. The defender is only 20 years old and will look to prove his doubters wrong with his performances in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diogo Monteiro left West Yorkshire in the summer after his spell with Leeds United to join FC Arouca in Portugal&#8217;s Primeira Liga.
