Yan Diomande, a 19-year-old Ivorian winger, will not be able to be registered as a new player in this Real Madrid transfer market while the club holds all 25 first-team slots occupied. The potential arrival of Rodri Hernández would require one more departure before LaLiga kicks off.

The signing of Carlos Espí, secured by paying his €25 million clause to Levante, does not solve the issue. The striker will fill the gap left by Gonzalo García, whose transfer to Fulham is pending completion.

Yan Diomande Requires an Exit from Real Madrid

The swap between Gonzalo and Espí does not alter the number of licenses. Currently, the squad has two goalkeepers, ten defenders, six midfielders, and seven forwards, leaving no room for Yan Diomande's registration.

The goal is covered by Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin. The defense includes Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, Éder Militao, Marc Cucurella, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Álvaro Carreras, Antonio Rüdiger, Raúl Asencio, Ferland Mendy, and Dean Huijsen.

The midfield features Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler, Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Bernardo Silva. In attack, there are Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Júnior, Gonzalo, Rodrygo, Endrick, Brahim Díaz, and Franco Mastantuono.

Gonzalo is still listed in the first team until his move to Fulham is officially announced. Once the transfer is finalized, Carlos Espí, a 21-year-old striker under contract until June 30, 2031, will take over that slot.

Mastantuono cannot free up space by shifting to the reserve team due to his minutes with the senior squad last season, qualifying him as part of the professional team for the upcoming LaLiga edition.

Rodri Hernández Would Require Two Departures

The arrival of Yan Diomande necessitates the departure of a current player. If Real Madrid also secures the signing of Rodri Hernández, two players must exit before both reinforcements can be registered.

Diomande has already agreed to a five-year deal. An initial offer of €90 million plus €10 million in variables was rejected by RB Leipzig, with the latest figures exceeding €100 million.

The winger stood out in the previous World Cup with Ivory Coast and has become the club's immediate priority. Negotiations are pending completion of documentation and finalizing contractual terms before the medical examination.

The deal for Rodri Hernández is progressing at a different pace. The 30-year-old midfielder from Manchester City remains part of Real Madrid's plans, with club-to-club talks on hold until Diomande's deal is finalized first.

Players Who Could Leave Real Madrid

Real Madrid must decide which positions can be reduced without disrupting the sporting plan. Gonzalo's departure has been compensated for by Espí, thus not creating an additional slot for either target.

Sales of players like Rodrygo, Endrick, Raúl Asencio, or Ferland Mendy would change the number of slots, subject to acceptable offers and player agreements.

The next steps include finalizing Yan Diomande's signing and securing an additional initial departure. If the pursuit of Rodri Hernández resumes thereafter, Real Madrid will need to free up another slot before registering the midfielder for LaLiga competition.
