Real Madrid have reached an agreement with RB Leipzig to sign highly rated Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande in a deal worth more than €100 million, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano confirmed the breakthrough on Sunday night with a post on X, writing:
“🚨💣 BREAKING: YAN DIOMANDE TO REAL MADRID, HERE WE GO! ⚪️✨
Agreement closed tonight with RB Leipzig for fee over €100m for the Ivorian winger.
Diomande will fly to Madrid this week for medical tests and contract signing until June 2031.”
The agreement follows weeks of negotiations between the two clubs. Real Madrid and RB Leipzig had already reached a deal in principle before finalising the transfer on Sunday night.
The Spanish giants had also agreed personal terms with the highly rated teenager, who is set to sign a long term contract that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabéu until June 2031.
Diomande, who was born in Abidjan on November 14, 2006, joined RB Leipzig from Spanish club Leganés before enjoying a breakthrough campaign in the Bundesliga. The exciting right winger scored 12 league goals and registered several assists in 33 appearances, establishing himself as one of Europe’s brightest young attacking talents.
The 19-year-old also impressed on the international stage with Ivory Coast at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His pace, direct running and attacking quality earned widespread praise as the Elephants progressed to the knockout rounds.
The transfer comes just a day after reports revealed that Diomande had given Real Madrid the green light on personal terms. That agreement followed an earlier verbal understanding with Paris Saint-Germain in June before the Spanish club won the race for his signature.
With the deal now agreed, Diomande is expected to travel to Madrid this week to undergo his medical before completing the formalities on a contract that will officially make him a Real Madrid player until 2031.
