Born in Long Beach, California, Leone began his career with Total Futbol Academy before joining the youth setup of Major League Soccer club Los Angeles FC.[2] Leone rose through the ranks of the club before signing a professional homegrown player contract alongside fellow Mexican-American teammates Christian Torres and Erik Dueñas on July 8, 2020.[2]
On May 22, 2021, Leone was loaned out to Los Angeles FC's USL Championship affiliate Las Vegas Lights for their match against Phoenix Rising.[3] He made his debut in the match, starting for Las Vegas in the 1–5 defeat.[4] August 27, 2021, Leone received his first red card of his career against LA Galaxy II in the 90th+2 minute.[5]
Leone is eligible to play for the United States or Mexico.[2] He has represented the United States at both the under-15 and under-17 levels, and Mexico at the under-15, under-17, under-19 and under-20.
Leone was called up to the Mexico U-20 team by Luis Ernesto Pérez to participate at the 2021 Revelations Cup, appearing in three matches, where Mexico won the competition.[6] The following year, he was subsequently called up again to the Mexico U-20 team for the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship,[7] in which Mexico failed to qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup and Olympics.[8]
