Real Madrid near €140 million deal for Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig

Summary

Real Madrid is reportedly close to finalizing the signing of Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for €140 million. The Ivory Coast winger is expected to undergo a medical and sign his contract soon. To make room for Diomande and potentially Rodri, Real Madrid may register Diomande with their reserve team, Castilla, initially. This move aims to provide more flexibility in squad management for manager Jose Mourinho while also ensuring that Los Blancos do not lose out on signing Rodri, who is being pursued by Barcelona. Approval for Diomande's registration with Castilla is pending.
