Official – Yan Diomande, once targeted by PSG, has signed for Real Madrid | OneFootball

Yan Diomande, a 19-year-old forward for RB Leipzig (under contract until 2030) and Côte d’Ivoire, was reported to be very close to joining Paris Saint-Germain during the transfer window. But, due to a complicated situation involving agents and Leipzig’s huge asking price, PSG moved on to other options. In the end, the Ivorian international ultimately signed for Real Madrid.

There is no surprise here, as the transfer had seemed close for the past few days. According to several sources, Real Madrid went as high as 140 million euros including bonuses (125+15) to complete the deal. A huge fee, just as president Florentino Pérez had promised. Even if this was not necessarily the player people had in mind when voting in the presidential election.

In any case, PSG was not willing to go that high, which is understandable, especially since it is more than the combined fees paid for Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. We will still inevitably keep an eye on Diomande’s career, a talented player who was targeted by PSG.
