🚨 Breakthrough at last! Diomande joins Real for this fee | OneFootball

The negotiations over Yan Diomande dragged on forever and, not least, even sparked a beef between two of the most prominent transfer journalists around.

But now, late on Wednesday afternoon, RB Leipzig and Real Madrid have finally been able to agree on a transfer!

As 'Sky' journalist Florian Plettenberg reports, the two clubs agreed on a guaranteed transfer fee of 125 million euros. In all likelihood, the total package is expected to rise to 135 million over the coming years, and 140 million is even theoretically possible. In addition, Diomande’s former club will also receive a share of Saxony’s transfer profit.

The deal is not official yet, but according to Plettenberg, only minor details still need to be sorted out.

That means the biggest transfer saga of the summer so far could soon finally come to an end!
