Real Madrid go all in to complete teenage winger’s signing within 24 hours as talks intensify | OneFootball

Real Madrid have been trying to sign talented teenage winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for some time now.

The deal has been in the works for a couple of weeks. Fabrizio Romano claimed back then that Real Madrid had reached an agreement with the Bundesliga club.

However, the deal has since not progressed at the expected pace. Now, according to Florian Plettenberg, Los Blancos are making a decisive push to complete the signing of Diomande.

Discussions between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig have intensified, with optimism growing that an agreement can be reached soon.

The journalist claims that Real Madrid’s objective is clear: finalise the deal quickly enough for Diomande to undergo his medical before he joins RB Leipzig’s pre-season training camp in Austria.

That timeline has become a key focus in the negotiations, with the Spanish giants eager to avoid the Ivorian winger linking up with Leipzig while talks remain ongoing.

The feeling surrounding the negotiations is said to be positive, with the next 24 hours expected to be crucial in determining whether an agreement can finally be reached.

Real Madrid’s priority signing

Real Madrid had shifted their full attention towards completing the Diomande operation before revisiting other targets, including Manchester City’s Rodri.

The club view the 19-year-old as one of Europe’s brightest attacking prospects following his outstanding breakthrough campaign in Germany.

Jose Mourinho has approved the move, with the Portuguese manager expected to use Diomande as part of a refreshed front line capable of playing across multiple attacking positions.

His former Leganes captain has even tipped him to become better than Lamine Yamal should he reach his full potential.

A major investment based on pure potential

Real Madrid have already demonstrated their willingness to invest heavily in elite young talent in recent years, and Diomande appears set to become the latest addition to that long-term project.

The overall package is expected to reach close to €130 million including bonuses, which is no small fee, especially for an unproven talent.

With negotiations now entering a decisive phase, all eyes will be on whether Real Madrid can strike an agreement quickly enough.

Real Madrid are making a huge bet on Diomande reaching his full potential, and they will want him to join Mourinho’s squad as soon as possible to train and acclimatise to his new club.
