Real Madrid is trying to get this done before the weekend. According to Sky Germany, the club is pushing hard to finalize the transfer of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande before Leipzig flies to their preseason training camp in Austria this Saturday.
The deal isn’t completely finished yet. Sources say Madrid held fresh talks with Leipzig again today, and there are still some minor details to sort out involving payment structures. Nothing major apparently, but enough to keep things from being officially signed off.
Meanwhile, Diomande is handling this the right way. He’s stayed in Leipzig, kept training, stayed professional. He’s not making noise or forcing anything. The Ivorian international is waiting for the two clubs to reach a full agreement, and once that happens, Leipzig will let him join Madrid. That’s the understanding anyway.
Why This One’s Dragging
You’d think a deal between two clubs of this caliber would be straightforward by now. But these things always have a few wrinkles. Payment terms, add-ons, how the money gets spread out over time. That’s what’s left to iron out. Neither side is walking away. It’s just a matter of getting the paperwork to match the handshake.
There have been other reports floating around that Paris Saint-Germain might be sniffing around again. But according to people close to the situation, Madrid is still comfortably in the driver’s seat. Leipzig isn’t shopping Diomande around. This is a Madrid-bound move. Just not quite crossed the finish line yet.
Diomande’s Waiting Game
The kid has been patient through a process that’s taken longer than anyone probably expected. He’s not agitating for a move or making public statements. He’s just waiting for the green light. Once it comes, he’ll head to Spain and join the Galacticos. That part seems settled.
For Madrid, getting this done before the weekend would be ideal. Leipzig’s training camp in Austria is a natural deadline. If the paperwork isn’t signed by the time that plane takes off, Diomande goes to camp with Leipzig and the situation gets more complicated. Not impossible to still pull off, but messier.
Right now, it’s a waiting game. And Madrid is pushing to make sure they don’t have to wait much longer.
