The saga continues! Will Diomande join Real Madrid?
Real are just a step away from pulling off one of the most sensational transfers of the summer.
Details: According to journalist Santi Aouna, Real and Leipzig are putting the finishing touches on a transfer package for Yan Diomande worth a total of €120 million. The Ivorian winger himself has already given the green light for the move to the Madrid club.
Previously, Leipzig rejected Real's offer of €100 million — €90 million in guaranteed payments and another €10 million in bonuses. However, the Madrid side didn't walk away from the table and continued seeking a compromise with the German club.
Now, the two sides are closing in on an agreement around the €120 million mark. The deal isn't official yet, but both clubs are ironing out the final details of the transfer.
It's worth noting that last season Diomande made 36 appearances, scoring 13 goals and providing 10 assists. Transfermarkt values the 19-year-old at €90 million.
Reminder: Real Madrid submit €100 million bid for Yan Diomande as talks with RB Leipzig continue.
