Yan Diomande, a 19-year-old Ivorian winger, is on the verge of becoming the new signing for Real Madrid as both Real Madrid and RB Leipzig have everything agreed for the Ivorian to arrive at the Bernabéu. The verbal agreement was announced on July 26, but the German club maintains that the deal has not been signed yet.

The financial package could exceed 100 million euros and reach approximately 130 million euros with add-ons. Diomande would sign until 2031 if the entities resolve the pending conditions and authorize his trip to the Spanish capital.

Yan Diomande Awaits RB Leipzig's Authorization

Fabrizio Romano reports that the agreement for Yan Diomande was reached about ten days ago. The player is aware of the terms proposed by Real Madrid and did not take part in the last match for the German club while his future is being resolved.

RB Leipzig, however, has not confirmed the sale. Their sporting director, Marcel Schäfer, explained that discussions are ongoing and there are still elements to finalize before considering the agreement definitive between the clubs.

This difference explains why Diomande has not traveled to Madrid or been presented yet. The medical check-up, contract signing, and official announcement will depend on Leipzig granting final authorization for completing the transfer.

There is also a conflict regarding the player's representation. Maxidel Management, an agency linked to Max Gradel, claims to retain rights over Diomande, while Real Madrid has been in talks with Roc Nation Sports.

The dispute is in the hands of FIFA, although in Germany, they do not believe it will prevent the operation. However, it may affect administrative timelines and the distribution of commissions resulting from a transfer exceeding 100 million euros. Let's remember that PSG also tried to sign Diomande, as journalist Fabrizio Romano recalls.

Real Madrid Bets on their Figures in Germany

Yan Diomande joined RB Leipzig in July 2025 from Leganés and signed until June 30, 2030. The German club took a chance on a player who had only played one season in LaLiga.

The winger responded during his first season in the Bundesliga with 12 goals and 8 assists. Considering all competitions, his stats rose to 13 goals in 36 matches, increasing his market value to 90 million euros.

The potential outlay of around 130 million euros, including variables, would make Diomande the most expensive signing in Real Madrid's history. This record will depend on the final fixed amount and the fulfillment of bonuses included in the contract.

His Signing Does Not Mean the Departure of Vinicius

The arrival of the Ivorian is not planned as a direct consequence of Vinicius Junior's situation. The club's plan involves keeping the Brazilian, whose renewal is still being negotiated, and bringing in Diomande as a separate operation.

Both usually play from the left sector, although Yan Diomande can also operate from the right. His addition would increase the offensive alternatives of a team aiming to regain the LaLiga title in the 2026/27 season.

The next step will be to finalize the documentation between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig. Only after that, the trip, medical examination, and signing of Yan Diomande can be scheduled, so the announcement is contingent on resolving the pending differences in the coming hours.
