Diomandé signs for Real Madrid: 125 million euros deal confirmed

The deal is done. Real Madrid has officially confirmed the signing of Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig on Thursday, according to L'Équipe. The 19-year-old Ivorian left winger has penned a contract until 2033 for €125 million plus €15 million in add-ons, making him the most expensive purchase in the club's history.

Diomandé arrives as a world-class replacement on the wing. With just one full season as a professional, the Ivorian international (14 caps, 3 goals) impressed at Leipzig with 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 matches. The deal surpasses Bellingham's transfer and represents an investment at a level never before seen at the Bernabéu, bringing an end to one of the summer's biggest transfer sagas.
