Negotiations stall as RB Leipzig do not respond to Real Madrid’s latest offer for Yan Diomande | OneFootball

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, transfer talks between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig over winger Yan Diomande have largely stalled during the last 24 hours.

The sudden block in communication occurred because the German club has not yet responded to Los Blancos’ latest financial offer, a delay that has caused significant surprise among senior executives in the Spanish capital.

Pre-season travel dilemma

Because of the silence from the board, the Bundesliga club’s coaching staff has moved forward with their standard summer planning.

Leipzig’s current plan is for the 19-year-old the Ivory Coast international to fly with the rest of the first-team squad to their pre-season training camp in Austria today, Saturday

He is waiting for a final decision on Saturday morning regarding whether he must board the flight or if he will be permitted to stay behind to finalise his future.

Diomande’s intentions are clear

Despite the sudden standstill between the club boards, the transfer remains on track, and Diomande’s personal stance is completely transparent.

The young attacker wants a move to Real Madrid this summer and has already mentally moved on from his life at Leipzig.

If he is ultimately forced to travel to Austria this weekend, his clear intention is not to take part in full team training sessions with Leipzig.

He plans to protect his physical fitness and avoid any risk of injury while he waits for the two teams to resolve their valuation differences.

Diomande is hoping that Real Madrid and Leipzig can reach an agreement soon to conclude the deal, having already verbally agreed to personal contract terms with the Merengues.

A crucial weekend ahead

Real Madrid remain very keen on signing the winger, who excelled in Germany last season by scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists.

This weekend is viewed by all parties as a crucial period for the transfer saga.

Real Madrid executives intend to re-establish active contact with Leipzig immediately to break the deadlock and prevent the player from integrating into the German team’s pre-season camp.
