Real Madrid announced the signing of Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for €140 million, including bonuses. This marks their sixth signing of the summer, following negotiations that have progressed over several weeks. Jose Mourinho played a crucial role in securing the transfer, using his relationship-building skills to convince Diomande that Real Madrid was the right destination despite interest from PSG and Liverpool.
