El Real Madrid ficha a Yan Diomande, el extremo al que nadie le daba la oportunidad hasta que el Leganés lo rescató con 18 años
El club blanco desembolsa unos 125 millones de euros por el atacante procedente del Leipzig, de 19 años y pretendido por varios grandes europeos
On November 14, 2024, Yan Diomande, a 18-year-old Costamarfilan footballer, signed his first professional contract with CD Leganés, a team that played in Spain's Primera División at the time. Despite interest from major European clubs such as Bournemouth, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Olympiacos, and Rangers, Diomande struggled to secure a spot in the first team.
Exactly 21 months later, his breakthrough finally arrived when he joined Real Madrid under the guidance of José Mourinho. This move came after several prominent European clubs had dismissed him. The deal reportedly costs around €125 million, plus additional variables, potentially surpassing the amount Real Madrid paid for Jude Bellingham, the club's most expensive transfer to date.
