Real Madrid to pay €120m for World Cup 2026 star!

A major transfer battle is brewing around Yan Diomande.

Details: According to insider Ekrem Konur, Real Madrid have set their sights on the RB Leipzig winger. However, negotiations are hitting a wall due to the German club’s hardline stance: the Red Bulls are demanding €120 million for their prized talent and have no intention of entertaining offers below that figure.

At this stage, though, none of the potential suitors are willing to go above €100 million for Diomande.

RB Leipzig are set to offer the Ivorian a new contract with a significant salary increase. This move could spark a real standoff between club management and the player over his future.

Diomande himself is reportedly open to leaving and hopes to secure a move while the World Cup is still underway. This contradicts earlier reports that the winger was ready to remain in Leipzig and sign a new deal.
