PSG reach decision on hijacking Real Madrid deal for Yan Diomande – Fabrizio Romano | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano has said that Paris Saint-Germain have no plans to rival Real Madrid for the signing of Yan Diomande, who wants to move to Estadio Bernabeu in the summer transfer window.

The transfer guru revealed on July 26 that Real Madrid have a deal in place with Leipzig over the transfer of Diomande.

Los Blancos made a move for Diomande after PSG were in advanced talks for the Ivory Coast international winger.

PSG, who won Ligue 1 and the Champions League last season, had agreed personal terms verbally with Diomande.

However, Madrid managed to persuade the winger into changing his mind over a move to PSG, with the 19-year-old now keen on a move to Estadio Bernabeu.

Romano posted on X at 7:56pm on July 26: “BREAKING: YAN DIOMANDE TO REAL MADRID, HERE WE GO!

“Agreement closed tonight with RB Leipzig for fee over €100m for the Ivorian winger.

“Diomande will fly to Madrid this week for medical tests and contract signing until June 2031.

“DONE.”

However, L’Equipe reported this week that PSG could make a final attempt to sign Diomande.

This development comes despite PSG saying that they would not pay Leipzig’s asking price for Diomande.

Romano, though, has said that PSG have no plans to try for Diomande again, with Madrid in the clear.
