Real Madrid are reportedly closing in on a deal for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, with both Sky Sports and Yahoo Sports covering the transfer. The two outlets agree that the Spanish club is pushing hard to sign the 20-year-old Ivory Coast international this summer.
Sky Sports, citing Sky in Germany, reports that Real Madrid are in pole position to land Diomande, suggesting they lead the race for his signature. In contrast, Yahoo Sports frames the deal as more imminent, stating that Diomande “appears set to be Los Blancos‘ next recruit of the summer.” Yahoo also emphasizes that Real Madrid are planning two further reinforcements after this transfer, while Sky Sports focuses solely on the Diomande pursuit without mentioning additional targets.
Neither report gives a specific fee or contract length. The differing angles highlight Sky’s cautious optimism versus Yahoo’s confidence in a completed deal. Both sources agree that Real Madrid are actively working to secure Diomande as part of their squad overhaul after a trophy-less season.
