Soccer: Real Madrid agree club-record deal for Leipzig's Diomande, reports say

Real Madrid have reached ​an agreement with ​RB Leipzig to sign Ivorian ​winger Yan Diomande for a club-record fee, Spanish media reported on Thursday. The ‌transfer could ⁠be ⁠worth up to €125 million ($1443 million), with ​a further 10-15 million euros in add-ons, according ​to MARCA. If the deal is completed on those terms, it ​would eclipse the fee ⁠Real paid ‌for England midfielder Jude ​Bellingham ​in 2023, reported to ⁠be €103 million plus add-ons.

Reuters has contacted Real ​and Leipzig for comment.

Diomande, 19, ​enjoyed a breakthrough season with Leipzig, scoring 12 Bundesliga goals and providing nine assists to help the German side finish third ‌in the Bundesliga and qualify for next season's Champions ​League.


He joined ​Leipzig from ⁠Spanish club Leganes last year and played for Ivory Coast at the recent ​World Cup where they reached the last 32.
