The 19-year-old winger has been cleared to travel for a medical after Madrid agreed an initial €125 million fee, with add-ons taking the package to €140 million and above Jude Bellingham's price.
Real Madrid are moving to complete a club-record transfer for Yan Diomande after agreeing to pay RB Leipzig an initial €125 million, with add-ons that could take the package to €140 million. The 19-year-old right winger has been cleared to travel to Madrid for a medical and the move is expected to be announced once formalities are completed. Earlier reports had valued the transfer at about €135 million and said board approval was pending, but the latest terms would make Diomande more expensive than Jude Bellingham and cap a steep rise from Leipzig's roughly €20 million purchase from Leganés in July 2025. Born in Abidjan on November 14, 2006, Diomande holds French citizenship, has 13 caps for Ivory Coast and drew interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. Leganés, whom he joined after progressing through DME Academy in the United States, are due a sell-on share.
