Real Madrid Break Record for Diomande

Real Madrid have completed the signing of Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for a club-record fee of €135m (£115.7m), making the 19-year-old forward the most expensive African player in history. The deal, which includes €125m initially plus €10m in add-ons, surpasses the club's previous record fee paid for Jude Bellingham in 2023. forumteam.blog

The Spanish giants are also in positive talks with Vinícius Júnior, having offered an improved contract to ward off Arsenal's interest. Diomande, who joined RB Leipzig from Leganés last summer and starred for Côte d'Ivoire at the World Cup, becomes Madrid's latest high-profile signing after PSG pulled out of the race for the talented youngster.
