Transfer: Deal for Diomande as Real Madrid president Perez grants Mourinho’s wish

Real Madrid have finally agreed a deal to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig.

The LaLiga giants will pay over €100million for the Ivory Coast.

Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has gone all out for Diomande this summer after manager Jose Mourinho requested for the winger.

Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, wrote on X: “The fee for Yan Diomande to Real Madrid will be well in excess of €100m.

“All formal steps including documents exchange between clubs, travel and contract signing will happen next week.

“Florentino Pérez decided to go all in to give Mourinho what he wanted.”

Diomande himself has turned down moves to Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Liverpool.
