Real Madrid focuses on Yan Diomande after Bayern rejects Olise deal

Summary

Real Madrid is shifting its focus to signing Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, following Bayern Munich's refusal to negotiate a deal for Michael Olise. Bayern has closed the door on discussions regarding Olise, prompting Madrid to turn to Diomande, who scored 13 goals in his debut Bundesliga season. Reports indicate that PSG had been leading the race for Diomande, but Madrid is hopeful to finalize a deal after an initial €100 million bid was previously turned down by Leipzig. Both players are currently unavailable for pre-season training as they are participating in the World Cup.
