Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of highly rated winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to €140 million, bringing an end to one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer. According to reports, Real Madrid will pay an initial €125 million, with performance-related bonuses capable of taking the total package to €140 million. “It makes us proud that Yan has attracted major international attention through his strong performances at RB Leipzig. That makes me all the more grateful to those responsible at RB Leipzig for making this move possible for me despite my ongoing contract.” However, Leipzig turned down multiple offers believed to be around €100 million before Real Madrid tabled the bid that finally secured the deal.
