Diomandé has quickly risen to the top of Real Madrid’s transfer wishlist as the club continues its search for world-class explosive depth on the flanks. However, finalizing a deal with the German outfit has proven to be a tough test.
Madrid had an initial blockbuster proposal—worth a reported €90 million plus €10 million in add-ons—swiftly turned down by Leipzig earlier this week. Despite the early setback, the Spanish champions remain determined and are preparing a revised bid to unlock negotiations.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Diomandé has signaled his desire to join Los Blancos, mirroring a similar green light he gave to Paris Saint-Germain back in June. All eyes now turn to Leipzig as Madrid prepare to test their resolve once more.
