Real Madrid Set to Land Diomande for Huge Fee
5 Aug
Summary
- Negotiations for Yan Diomande are in final stages.
- Real Madrid will pay between €130-€140 million for the player.
- A dispute over player advisors could lead to FIFA investigation.
Negotiations between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig concerning Yan Diomande have reportedly entered their final phase, with a transfer now appearing imminent. Real Madrid is expected to finalize the deal for a sum between €130 million and €140 million. This valuation would position the Ivorian as the second priciest transfer in Bundesliga history, trailing only Ousmane Dembele's move to Barcelona.
The 19-year-old Ivorian had recently traveled to RB Leipzig's training camp in Austria, having officially called in sick earlier to facilitate his departure. While transfer journalist Ben Jacobs has reported a verbal agreement on terms, Sky indicates that final approval from Real Madrid's board is still pending and is expected later today.
Should the transfer proceed, it could trigger a FIFA investigation due to an ongoing dispute involving player advisors. Two agencies, Maxidel Management and Roc Nation, both claim rights related to Diomande's career, adding a layer of complexity to the record-breaking potential deal.
