Real Madrid has announced the signing of 19-year-old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, with the teenager signing a seven-year contract until 2033. The transfer, valued at €140 million including add-ons, makes Diomande the most expensive acquisition in Real Madrid history. Despite initial hurdles, the Spanish capital club successfully closed the deal, with Diomande becoming the club's sixth signing of the summer.
The winger missed Friday's first training session as he completed remaining administrative procedures, meaning he will likely make his debut in the Teresa Herrera Trophy against Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday, 12 August. Diomande's medical examination was completed during the afternoon, and he will begin his fitness training with the rest of the squad once Real Madrid returns from a friendly match in Hungary.
