Vinicius was behind the decision to accelerate the signing of Yan Diomandé in the last Real Madrid's transfer market, as revealed by journalist Iván Martín. The club closed the deal for the 19-year-old winger from RB Leipzig for 125 million euros plus 15 in add-ons when there were doubts about the Brazilian's renewal, which was eventually extended until 2032.

The operation took place at a time when Vinicius' previous contract was expiring in 2027. According to Iván Martín's information, part of the club believed that a definitive refusal to renew could lead to a sale, while another sector was in favor of keeping the forward.

Vinicius's Future Accelerated Yan Diomandé Signing

OKDiario's journalist explained in a discussion with Iñaki Angulo that the move for Yan Diomandé gained strength when there was a perception within the club that Vinicius might reject the conditions set for renewal. The signing allowed Madrid to bring in another winger in advance.

The context of those weeks confirms that both matters progressed almost simultaneously. On August 6th, the club officially announced the agreement with RB Leipzig to sign Diomandé until June 30, 2033. That same day, Vinicius' renewal until 2032 was also revealed.

The arrival of the Ivorian required an investment of 125 million euros fixed and an additional 15 million in variables, according to figures published by AS. Leipzig had rejected lower offers before accepting a deal that made Diomandé the most expensive signing by the white club.

Real Madrid Invested 125 Million in a 19-Year-Old Winger

Yan Diomandé arrived in Madrid after finishing the 2025/26 season with Leipzig with 13 goals and nine assists in all competitions. The striker had also played in the World Cup with Ivory Coast before signing a seven-season contract with the team led by José Mourinho.

The investment also had a sporting aspect. Diomandé can play on both wings and, shortly after his arrival, he has started competing for minutes with the established forwards. In his first eight official matches with Madrid, he has accumulated 291 minutes and one assist.

His progress in September has intensified that competition. After his performances against Elche and Atlético Madrid, AS noted that the 19-year-old player had entered directly into the fight for a spot with Vinicius after the international break.

Vinicius Renewed until 2032 and Competitiveness Grows

The contractual situation was finally resolved with Vinicius' continuity. The 26-year-old Brazilian extended his contract until 2032, ruling out any departure scenario due to the contract's end nearing during the summer. Currently, Vinicius is worrying due to his performance.

Now the issue is purely sports-related and also affects LaLiga. Diomandé has already been a starter in the league and has 280 minutes in La Liga, while Mourinho continues to rely on Vinicius in his attack.

The next step will be to see how Mourinho distributes the minutes when all his attackers are back. Vinicius has a contract until 2032 and Yan Diomandé until 2033, so the move initially intended as a precaution against a possible exit has ended up generating a direct competition for the offensive positions at Real Madrid.
