Pedro León Sánchez Gil (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpeðɾo leˈon ˈsantʃeθ]; born 24 November 1986), known as León, is a Spanish footballer who plays for SD Eibar as a right winger.
Born in Mula, Region of Murcia, León began his career playing for local Muleño CF and Nueva Vanguardia's youth teams, eventually moving in early 2004 to Real Murcia to finish his formation.
After a spell with the B-team, he made his official debut with the main squad on 15 January 2005, in a Segunda División 1–5 loss at 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. Instead, he joined modest Levante UD in the 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.
During 2007–08, León often underachieved, starting only 11 times from 24 appearances as Levante returned to the second level. He also ended up training alone, due to problems with management and teammates alike.
