Levante’s Diego Moyano, 14, Trains With First Team Ahead of Record Bid

In Valencia, Levante have brought 14-year-old defender Diego Moyano into first-team training, placing the academy player alongside the club’s senior squad at an unusually early stage of his development.

Quick facts

  • Diego Moyano is 14 years old.
  • The Levante youngster plays in defence.
  • He has begun training with the first team.
  • An official senior appearance is being anticipated in the near future.
  • Argentine-born Luka Romero remains the youngest player to debut in Spain’s top flight.

Moyano’s involvement has prompted expectations that he could soon receive an official opportunity for Levante. A debut would put the teenager among the youngest players ever used in Spanish league football.

The benchmark is held by Luka Romero, the Argentine player who made his La Liga debut at a younger age than anyone else. For Moyano, first-team sessions represent the first step toward challenging that landmark from the Levante training ground.
