Yan Diomande set to travel for Real Madrid medical after €140 million deal agreed

Yan Diomande set to travel for Real Madrid medical after €140 million deal agreed After weeks of to and fro, Real Madrid have finally made a breakthrough in their pursuit of Yan Diomande. The RB Leipzig winger is set to join Los Blancos this summer, with Real Madrid paying as much as €140 million for his services. Diomande is set to become Real Madrid’s sixth signing of the summer, and the winger joins despite reports that Vinicius Jr. might end up staying at the Bernabeu.

The player is set to receive the allowance from RB Leipzig for the same, and after the medical is done, he is expected to sign the contract at the Bernabeu. This has been confirmed by The Athletic’s Mario Cortegana as well, with the journalist suggesting that the player is set to travel to Madrid for his medical. Real Madrid are expected to pay around €125 million as a fixed fee to Leipzig, with €15 million in add-ons, who in turn, have two or three signings ready to be made. It has been reported lately that Barcelona target Fisnik Asllani is closing in on a move to Leipzig, so one would expect that to be finalised once the Diomande deal is done.

That means the explosive Ivorian winger will have to compet with the likes of Vinicius, Rodrygo, Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz and Kylian Mbappe for a place in the starting eleven. Franco Mastantuono’s loan move to Fiorentina and Gonzalo Garcia’s exit should help Real Madrid declutter the attack, though. Not to mention, Endrick’s future at the club also remains unclear. This could be a net positive for Diomande, who is likely going to become Mourinho’s go-to option in the counter-attack.
