Diomande seals move: Madrid bound on Thursday

The deal is moving at pace. Yan Diomande (19 years old) will travel to Madrid this Thursday afternoon to complete his signing for Real Madrid, according to Fabrizio Romano's report. The agreement between the Spanish club and RB Leipzig has been finalized after days of negotiations over the transfer fee.

The Ivorian winger becomes Real Madrid's marquee signing of the summer, with the deal potentially reaching €130 million including variables — making it one of the most expensive transfers in the club's history. The player had been training away from his teammates after returning from his break.

With Diomande's arrival, Madrid wraps up a transfer window in which they have once again spent a three-figure sum. La Liga's market closes on August 31st at 23:59.
