Real Madrid are in the final stages of talks over the arrival of 19-year-old forward Yann Diomande from RB Leipzig. The young player is currently the main target for the Madrid club in the upcoming summer transfer window, with the coaching staff having already agreed personal terms with the player. Talks between the two clubs are progressing positively, with the Spanish giants offering €120 million for his services.
Old comments by Diomande have resurfaced, going viral on social media. The then Leganés player had heavily criticised the referee's performance after a match against Real Madrid. The match, which ended in a 3-2 victory for Real Madrid, was marked by a controversial incident in the final moments.
In the 94th minute, a sharp clash occurred between Diomande and Real defender Raúl Asencio. Players from Leganés demanded that a penalty be awarded, but the referee did not act, sparking heated reactions on the pitch and in the away dressing room.
Although these comments are now the subject of debate, Real Madrid are not abandoning their intention to sign the talented forward. The transfer could be key to strengthening the attack for the new season, with the financial demands of Leipzig reflecting a high valuation of the young player in the market.
