Transfer news – Yan Diomande set to sign for Real Madrid! | OneFootball

Yan Diomande, a 19-year-old forward for RB Leipzig (under contract until 2030) and Ivory Coast, was announced as being very close to Paris Saint-Germain during this transfer window. Except PSG failed to reach an agreement with the German club, and it is now Real Madrid who are expected to complete the transfer.

Ben Jacobs: “Real Madrid are moving quickly.”

Santi Aouna (Foot Mercato): “Diomande has given the green light to join Real Madrid.”

Matteo Moretto (Marca): “The player’s absolute priority is Real Madrid”

Nothing is done until it is signed, and we cannot forget that there had already been a wave of similar reports about Diomande joining PSG. But it was not as strong or as advanced. In particular because the price has always been an obstacle. Something Real Madrid would apparently be willing to overcome with a very high offer.

Some Parisian supporters are showing regret, yet it makes sense not to force the issue when the squad has just won the Champions League twice in a row. That was achieved with players who were far less expensive and probably no less talented. Diomande is a very promising player, but football obviously does not begin and end with him.

It is easy to imagine that Paris have other leads in the works for this summer transfer window in order to make a few adjustments to the squad. Gonçalo Ramos has left for AC Milan and Lee Kang-In for Atlético Madrid, so at least two new signings are expected.
