Yan Diomande Real Madrid transfer medical RB Leipzig

Real Madrid are on the verge of completing a massive £85.5m deal for RB Leipzig attacker Yan Diomande after the 19-year-old booked his medical tests in Spain.

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Los Blancos have finalized terms on a five-year contract that will keep the Ivorian sensation at the Santiago Bernabeu until June 2031.

The rising star spent the summer representing Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup following an impressive debut Bundesliga campaign where he netted 12 goals and provided six assists across 33 appearances.

Jose Mourinho takes charge at Real Madrid aiming to revitalize the squad after a trophyless period, with Diomande arriving as a major addition to the attacking ranks.

The impending arrival of the teenager could also pave the way for future squad shifts in the Spanish capital, amid ongoing speculation surrounding the future of Vinicius Junior.
