Real Madrid Break Record for Diomande

Real Madrid have agreed a club-record €135m fee with RB Leipzig for Yan Diomande, the 19-year-old Ivorian forward.

Real Madrid have finalized a €135m (£115.7m) deal for Yan Diomande, making him the most expensive African player in history. The 19-year-old, who joined RB Leipzig from Leganés last summer and starred for Côte d'Ivoire at the World Cup, will move to the Spanish giants in a transaction that eclipses their previous record signing of Jude Bellingham.

Meanwhile, the club are in positive talks with Vinícius Júnior, offering an improved contract to ward off Arsenal's interest in the Brazilian forward. The positive developments come after Paris Saint-Germain pulled out of the race to sign Diomande, with Madrid confident they can secure both their transfer targets. hilogame.news
