Sky: Real Madrid turn attention to Diomande after Bayern’s refusal to negotiate Olise deal | OneFootball

Sky Sports reported Real Madrid are now turning their full attention towards signing Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig after FC Bayern showed no interest in accepting any bid for Michael Olise.

According to Sky, FC Bayern closed all doors for negotiations for Florentino Pérez's dream target. As previously reported, Real Madrid’s president doesn’t want to break the club’s good relationship with Bayern by approaching the deal differently.

Thus, after they realized FC Bayern are unwilling to enter discussions, Real Madrid bosses decided to go strong for a fellow Bundesliga winger. PSG were in pole position to sign the Ivorian youngster for weeks, but Real Madrid are now hopeful of completing the deal after their initial €100 million bid was rejected by RB Leipzig on Friday.

Diomande scored 13 goals in his debut Bundesliga campaign with RB Leipzig. Both Olise and Diomande are yet to join their respective team for pre-season preparations due to their participation at the World Cup.
