Real Madrid officially welcomed Yan Diomande as their newest player on Tuesday, concluding their summer transfer window presentations. The 19-year-old Ivorian winger signed a contract running through June 2033, a significant seven-year commitment. Diomande will don the No. 25 jersey.

Diomande has already made his debut for Real Madrid, appearing in a preseason match and making a competitive appearance off the bench against Espanyol. His previous performances for RB Leipzig, including 12 goals in 33 appearances, and his contribution to Ivory Coast's World Cup qualification highlighted his potential.
As Real Madrid's biggest summer investment, Diomande adds a dynamic option to the attack, complementing players like Vinícius Junior and Kylian Mbappé. He is expected to make his home debut at the Santiago Bernabéu soon.
