Yan Diomande’s transfer to Real Madrid is advancing toward completion. With the clubs’ agreement fully in place and all remaining formalities resolved, the Ivory Coast winger has departed RB Leipzig’s pre-season camp in Austria and is en route to Spain for a medical examination.
Ready to join immediately
Reports indicate that the timing of the deal could allow Diomande to integrate with his new team without delay. He is expected to meet head coach Jose Mourinho and his new teammates on Friday morning, with the possibility of being included in the squad for Real Madrid’s upcoming friendly against Ferencvaros. After the morning training session, the traveling squad will be announced before departing for the airport in the afternoon.
A long-awaited move
RB Leipzig had resisted for several days, extending negotiations and causing the player to miss the team’s initial departure for the Austrian training camp. Diomande eventually travelled to join the squad a few days later. Since arriving, he had been training individually while awaiting clearance to complete the transfer, which finally arrived this week. He trained alone again in the morning before leaving Leipzig’s hotel in Austria and heading to Spain.
Medical examination and contract signing
Real Madrid are expected to have Diomande undergo the customary medical examination upon arrival, followed by photographs and the formal contract signing. Once these steps are completed, Diomande will officially become a Real Madrid player.
Contract and financial terms
Personal terms have been finalized, and Diomande is poised to sign a contract with Real Madrid that will run until 2032. While the exact structure of the agreement was under discussion, the deal is reported to include a fixed transfer fee of about €115 million, with substantial performance-related bonuses. Depending on how the add-ons are achieved, the total value could approach €140 million, which would place Diomande among the club’s most expensive signings in history.
What’s next
If all goes as planned, Diomande will complete his medical, sign the contract, and become the newest member of Real Madrid’s squad. He would then begin his life at the club, potentially making his competitive debut soon after.
